Malema puts foot in it again, insulting Indians

ANC Youth League president Julius Malema might be in more trouble for using a racial slur against Indians during a speech to residents at the Thembelihle township, south of Johannesburg.


He used the slur while addressing about 600 black residents near Lenasia, a predominately Indian community.

"Bana ba lena ba tshwanetse ba dumelelwe gore ba tsene sekolo lebana ba makula mona [your children must be allowed to go to school with amaKula's [derogatory word for Indians] children."
The word amaKula is considered an offensive racial slur in South Africa and is on par with other offensive names the Human Rights Commission has ruled against.[Timeslive]
