# The DA welcomed today’s Western Cape Equality Court ruling finding EFF leader Julius Malema guilty of hate speech. They commend the South African Human Rights Commission for holding Malema accountable for the Brackenfell High School incident in Cape Town in 2022, where violence broke out and he told supporters to seek revenge against a white individual. Party leader John Steenhuisen says Malema’s repeated incitement of violence and racial division threatens South Africa’s democracy. Steenhuisen urged all political leaders to act responsibly and reject hate speech.
