Kallie Kriel says it is now legal to chant or use slogans that call for a part of the community to be murdered AfriForum condemns Constitutional Court’s legalisation of “Kill the Boer”

27 March 2025

The civil rights organisation AfriForum has strongly condemned the Constitutional Court’s decision to legalise calls for the murder of Afrikaners and farmers – as in “Kill the Boer”. The legalisation comes after the Constitutional Court earlier today dismissed AfriForum’s application for leave to appeal against two previous rulings that legalised the singing of this chant. The order states that the decision was made because an appeal “bears no reasonable prospects of success”.

Kallie Kriel, CEO of AfriForum, emphasises that with the political transition of 1994, the impression was created that the Constitution and the Constitutional Court would protect human rights – protection that would also include the human rights of Afrikaners. “After this shocking court ruling, we see that this is no longer the case. We are seeing an increasing radical implementation of the Constitution. We see an increase in ideologically driven judges. However, we are not going to become discouraged. We take clear notice of this – we also take notice of the fact that President Cyril Ramaphosa and the government do not want to condemn the statements of ‘Kill the Boer’,” explains Kriel.

In response, AfriForum will confidently continue to expand the organisation’s 177 neighbourhood and farm watches. “We are doing this so that we can ensure that there is a safe future for us, our communities and our descendants. If the authorities do not want to protect us, we will continue to protect ourselves.”

According to Kriel, “something unthinkable has happened” with this ruling, and it is now legal to chant or use slogans that call for a part of the community to be murdered. “We do not accept the decision calmly, and we will not resign ourselves to it, because we have self-respect. We also refuse to accept that our children must hear that they can be murdered, and that society approves of it. We will continue to fight this – also internationally.”
