‘EFF fights white supremacy, not white people,’ says white Jeffreys Bay EFF member

Jeffreys Bay EFF member Christiaan Carstens responds to claims of racism within the party.

A white Jeffreys Bay EFF member said he is sick and tired of claims that the party — and its leader Julius Malema — hates white people and wants to kill them.

Christiaan Hendrik Nicolaas Carstens said claims of hate directed at his commander-in-chief and fellow red beret wearers, who from time to time sing chants such as “Kill the Boer”, are simply not true.

“The primary misconception is that the EFF hates white people and that it wants to slaughter whites in a mass genocide,” Carstens, 25, told IOL.

“The EFF is not against white people, but rather against white supremacy and white monopoly capital.
