South Africa’s MK Party Member “One Settler, One Bullet,” Rhetoric, Raising Alarms for White Minority

Khanyile’s “One settler, one bullet” and “no sharing” mirrors Malema’s “kill the boer, kill the farmer” chant, alarming whites amid stricter B-BBEE, EWC, and land invasions.

MK Party member Bonginkosi Khanyile’s speech where he invoked “One settler, one bullet,” mirrors Julius Malema’s controversial “kill the boer” chants, raising alarms among South Africa’s white minority.

As the nation braces for stricter Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment (B-BBEE) laws from September 2025 and expropriation without compensation (EWC), such rhetoric, historically tied to racial violence, exacerbates tensions amid land invasions and economic exclusion.

By promoting hatred and division, the pronouncements of Khanyile and Malema jeopardize South Africa’s post-Apartheid reconciliation.

They exploit a political environment weakened by the ANC’s legacy of corruption and critical failures in governance.

The continued use of such language on social media and by politicians, unchecked, highlights a dangerous trend where hate speech undermines progress, marginalizing white minorities further in a nation where historical grievances clash with the need for unity.
