Malema faces genocide charge at ICC, The Hague

The civil rights movement Pro-Afrikaans Action Group has laid genocide charges against the ruling African National Congress youth league leader Julius Malema at the International Criminal Court in The Hague. This is the second such charge against Malema lodged at the ICC over the past two months.

The latest charge comes after the National Prosecuting Authority in SA refused to prosecute Malema for incitement to genocide. 

This is the second genocide-charge to be placed at the international criminal court. On April 5 2011, Paul Kruger of the Verkenners (Afrikaans scouts) movement also arrived in The Hague and lodged a petition at the ICC, asking the international body to start investigating charges of genocide against the ruling African National Congress party leaders and the government of South Africa

Today,  Praag ‘s Dan Roodt  said Malema has been repeatedly placed on record for calling for the extermination of the Afrikaner nation through his songs, public statements and other utterances.  In its letter, PRAAG referred to the South Gauteng High Court judgment which found the Malema-phrase ‘shoot the Boer’ to constitute incitement to murder. 

‘Judgment was reserved’ in the Malema hate speech trial at the Equality Court in Johannesburg. “You first have to exhaust all the local remedies in order to get someone to prosecute it for incitement,” said Praag’s Dan Roodt.

“So now, because the prosecuting authority in Pretoria has refused to do it, it now needs to be investigated by the International Criminal Court in The Hague.”

Hendrik Grobler disabled: brutal assault by 3 cops

Boilermaker Hendrik Grobler, 35: ‘ I twice told the cop I could not lie down on the floor because of recent back surgery. He pointed his gun, threatening to shoot me if I didn’t. I showed him my back brace: then he kicked me again. A second cop  then also kicked me, a third cop turned me over. Then it was all over: the pain hasn’t stopped since and I can’t move…’ After the beatings and kicks, the young Afrikaner lay paralysed on the floor for 45 minutes: nobody came to help…

Thirty-five year old boilermaker Hendrik Grobler may have to spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair after a brutal assault by three cops at a Gezina, Pretoria petrol station on 21 April. The Afrikaner was an innocent bystander: he and his friend Theuns Potgieter, 33,  with him buying a tyre, had a handgun in his belt for self-protection –  (SA is the most violently-criminal society in the world) — but did not carry his gun-license with him. The brutal assaults against the two Afrikaner men by the gaggle of black cops was filmed on closed-circuit television inside the petrol-station — and the pictures were published by Beeld newspaper on 2 May 2011.

Grobler had undergone back-surgery ten weeks earlier from which he was recovering, and wearing a back-brace, when the three cops forced him to lie on the floor, kicked him, stood on him and assaulted him.  His doctor examined him afterwards and said the nerves and soft-tissue in his back were so badly damaged by the assault that it could take up to twenty years to recover by itself. He’s also beginning to lose the use of his legs.. Mrs Estie Grobler, 33, who is seven months pregnant, has to help him shower: he suffers excruciating pain whenever he moves. He won’t be able to work: “I’ve lost everything because of this .Thanks to the police, I’ve now also lost the use of my legs.’

The Independent Complaint Directorate’s spokesman Moses Dlamini seemed rather casual in his reply to Beeld’s request for comment: merely saying they ‘hadn’t investigated it yet, as they were only ‘taking over the investigation from the police today.’
