2010: S.Africa: Julius Malema incited Blacks to rape, torture & murder Afrikaans farm owners
An Afrikaans farmer and his family fled South Africa after deciding to lay charges against Julius Malema. In his affidavit he said that 2380 Afrikaners had been murdered in the last 16 years and some had been tortured.

South African medical experts are concerned that the repeated use of unsterilised blades in the ritual circumcision of adolescent boys might be spreading HIV.
The practice, which is performed without anaesthesia, is meant to reinforce the belief that “real men can endure pain”, but hundreds of boys have died or been maimed by the procedure, leading provincial health officials to criticise the tradition.
The Baltimore Sun newspaper in the US quoted Graeme Meintjes, a South African AIDS specialist and author of a book on ritual circumcision, as saying, “We can imagine, in some communities, about 20 percent of boys going off to the bush [for circumcision] will be HIV-positive – it”s an extremely high risk.”
However, researchers have been hoping that circumcision might become an effective tool in slowing the spread of HIV in Africa, where an estimated 70 percent of men are circumcised at birth or during rites of passage ceremonies.
