JOHANNESBURG (AP) -- A court convicted the governing party's youth leader of hate speech Monday after he said the woman who once accused South Africa's president of rape had had a "nice time" because she stayed the night and asked for taxi money.
A gender justice group took African National Congress Youth League president Julius Malema to the Johannesburg Equality Court after he made the comment to students in January 2009.
Jacob Zuma was acquitted of rape in 2006 after he insisted the sex was consensual and went on to become president last year.
Just hours after the conviction, a court official sent a second round of hate-speech complaints to Malema.
These complaints address Malema's decision last week to lead college students in singing a song that calls for the killing of white South African farmers.
The judge who convicted Malema ordered him to make an unconditional public apology within two weeks and pay 50,000 rand ($6,700) to a center for abused women, called People Opposing Women Abuse, within a month, South African media reported.

HAH, if they kill the white farmers the blacks will die from starvation, it's already been proven that they don't know how to farm there.

Robert Mugabe ran off the white farmers in Zimbawe, confiscated their land and assets and immediately turned Zimbawe into a worthless debt ridden violent throwback to a primitive state where the people can only pray they can survive just one more day without being killed.
the South African ANC Youth League President sounds just as stupidly racist and violent as Robert Mugabe...I wonder if he is Muslims or has Muslim ties...

That's why white people have been fleeing South Africa ever since the end of apartheid. My mom's old preacher was one of them; their accent is very pleasant to listen to.
Agreed with Fishy Commentator, getting the white people out of South Africa is like getting the Jews out of Europe. It's the last thing you want to do if you have hopes for a prosperous nation.
