AfriForum Youth today laid a charge of assault at the Midrand Police Station against Lindsay Maasdorp, spokesperson of the Black First Land First movement. This comes after Maasdorp today assaulted members of AfriForum Youth at the National Education Crisis Forum in Midrand, which was attended by several movements.<\/p>\n
Students who claimed that they belong to the #Feesmustfall structures also told AfriForum Youth that they could not speak at the event.<\/p>\n
\u201cI walked up to the podium for my allotted turn to speak, and then these students approached me and said that I was not allowed to speak because I am white,\u201d<\/strong> said Jaco Grobbelaar, AfriForum Youth\u2019s coordinator for Tuks.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey also shouted the slogan \u2018one settler, one bullet\u2019 in our faces and sang the \u2018kill the Boer\u2019 song. A huge fight broke out \u2013 people threw chairs at one another and members of AfriForum Youth were assaulted by Maasdorp,\u201d<\/strong> said Renier Goosen, chairperson of the Tuks branch.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe feared for our lives, and this shows that they have no regard for our contributions and that they are racist towards white people. We hope that the police will pursue the case,\u201d<\/strong> Grobbelaar concluded.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
