Lex Libertas Media Statement 22 April 2026 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Lex Libertas report reveals government officials calling for the murder of white people; requests parliamentary hearing PRETORIA — The think tank and advocacy group, Lex Libertas today released a disturbing new report, ‘The Celebration of Murder in South African Online Discourse’, which finds that politically motivated hate speech and the incitement of murder directed at the white minority are becoming socially acceptable phenomena across major social media platforms in South Africa. The report predominantly analyses online responses following the assassination of American conservative activist Charlie Kirk in September 2025, but also references earlier cases. It reveals a worrying trend described by Lex Libertas as a ‘zeitgeist of euphoric-violence’. It further reveals multiple cases of government officials openly celebrating the death of white people, or actively calling for white people to be exterminated, sometimes in the most grotesque ways imaginable. Among others, the following persons incited violence and were identified as past or present government officials based on their social media profiles: - Lilly Pelle, Assistant Director at the North West Department of Education celebrated the murder of Charlie Kirk online. - Rally Mohalane, employee of the Gauteng Department of Education posted a picture of the words ‘Kill all Charlie Kirks’. - Xola Pama, an employee of the Department of Health, stated that white babies had to be killed and that the wives and sisters of white people had to be raped. - Mduduzi Moffat Mumba, an employee of the Department of Employment and Labour stated that ‘all white persons that are fucken racist, starting with Steve Hoffmer and anyone that is associated with Afriforum’ (sic) had to be killed. - Mveleli Mogolwane Gwabeni, a trainee at the South African Police Service stated that more farmers had to be murdered. - Velaphi Khumalo, an employee of the Gauteng Provincial Government posted that ‘we’ (presumably the South African government) ‘must act as Hitler did to the Jews’ and that the country had to be cleansed of white people. Khumalo apologised and was reprimanded, but he still works for the South African government. The study, based on nearly 150 public submissions, categorizes the severity of the online reactions and confirms that hatred and incitement are rife within South African online discourse. Key Findings from the Lex Libertas Report: - Celebration of Murder: 62% of collected responses were explicitly celebratory of Kirk’s death, featuring comments such as ‘he got what he deserved’ and graphic memes making fun of his murder. - Incitement of Violence: 12% of responses involved explicit incitement of violence and included calls for public figures to be murdered. - Institutional Concern: The report highlights that certain identifiable people working for government departments openly celebrate deaths or incite violence, demonstrating that this discourse is present across mainstream platforms and within state institutions. - Double Standards: Lex Libertas attributes the unchecked nature of this hate speech to the government applying double standards in policing incitement and mainstream media reporting, which results in unequal enforcement of law based on the perpetrator's race. ‘The celebration of murder and the subsequent wave of violent online responses reveal a disturbing pattern: the social acceptance of hate-fuelled rhetoric that, when left unchecked, normalises, legitimises and encourages real-world violence,’ said Dr Ernst Roets, Executive Director of Lex Libertas. ‘The consequences are severe: weakened social cohesion, erosion of trust in public institutions, and heightened risk to targeted communities. This is a profound threat to the stability of the country.’ In response to these findings, Lex Libertas has announced a formal plan to challenge this trend. This included the following steps: 1. Parliamentary Hearing: Lex Libertas has formally requested that the Parliamentary Portfolio Committee on Police initiate a public hearing into the matter of the rise of online incitement and the celebration of violence in South Africa. 2. Employer Notification: Employers of individuals who openly encourage violence online will be informed of the conduct of their employees. 3. Public Reporting: Lex Libertas will continue to encourage members of the public to bring such cases to the institution's attention by visiting the website or by sending an email to veldtogte@lexlibertas.org.za. 4. Continued Research: Lex Libertas commits to publishing continued research on this matter. The full report is shared below and can be accessed on the Lex Libertas website. Lex Libertas is a think tank and advocacy group working towards a viable political dispensation in South Africa, based on the principles of freedom, decentralisation, and self-governance.

It’s not that important … @DailyFriendSA

Inviting a convicted criminal to speak at your event suddenly makes perfect sense...

Their scam worked for decades

"Shortly before midnight, I awoke to flashing lights in the living room. I got up to check and when I got to the living room, I ran into one of the attackers. He grabbed me and hit me in the face with a bat. I fell and screamed, while trying to fight them off. My children then awoke and came to check what was going on. The attackers grabbed them and hit them with a sjambok." A single mother, Annemarie Carvalho, and her two young daughters (aged 9 and 12) were brutally attacked in what can only be described as a horrific act of violence. The mother was beaten with a bat and a sjambok (whip). When her brave daughters tried to intervene and protect her, they were viciously assaulted too, one of the girls was slammed against a wall. All three were hospitalized with serious injuries. The children are now deeply traumatized by the nightmare they endured while trying to save their mom.

Why is the NPA not doing their job and prosecuting Melema for threats against the magistrate? But instead they claim to believe it is so bad, that they now want to regulate media in courts to protect prosecuters and judges, which violates the publics right to transparency and participation in such high profile cases. It is fast becoming an obvious way to cover up court bias and corruption from public veiw, and could actually make the issue of accountability to the people even more out of reach for South Africans. Disgusting. Melemas comments have not only lead to the endangerment of our judges and prosocuters but its now leading to the corruption enhancing action of smothering the media. It is becoming clear as daylight that the NPA is ideologically captured. Because if ANYONE else threatened a judge and prosocuter this way, they would lay a chage against them. The public has the right to transparency in high profile court cases. Now the public looses access to that Because the NPA refuses to prosocute crime by a vile racist and communist. Appalling.

Cyril must be shocked.

Hey @RonaldLamola, why do you lie so much?

Beggar …so unhappy in his skin

Cyril is afraid that he and his terrorist cronies will soon be held accountable. The UN is over and it's a good thing.

Someone pass this to Pope Leo.

Well done Ramaphosa, excellent progress with crime, we should have all the top 10 in a few years. This should really boost the crime syndication and take away those pesky tourists that keep on getting robbed or killed.

A Hamas supporter in NYC doesn't want to be recognized... Can we make this go viral and make him famous?

🚨 Why is @elonmusk suing the European Commission? Because one man with balls is standing up for FREE SPEECH… while unelected Brussels bureaucrats demand CONTROLLED SPEECH. They fined X €120M for refusing to become their censorship machine. Elon said: No. This isn’t just a lawsuit. It’s the frontline of the war for your right to speak. RT if you stand with free speech. 🔥 #DSA

Muslims walking around the UK moaning about pubs. Nobody asked you to come to the developed world. And pubs have existed long before Mohammed started abusing children and killing dogs. If you don't like our world, go back to the desert.

Imagine having to gather in numbers to ask not to be murdered.
