Original Note:
NYT isn't supporting "calls for genocide." The article includes opinions both for and against the song's use. In 2022 a high court judge ruled for the song's use, citing a lack of evidence that it could be construed as inciting harm, because it's not meant literally. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/08/02/world/africa/south-africa-kill-boer-song.html https://mg.co.za/top-six/2022-08-25-malema-economic-freedom-front-singing-kill-the-boer-ruled-not-hate-speech/
