Racists must go to Australia – but should leave the keys to their equipment and property behind, said EFF leader Julius Malema during a Human Rights Day rally in Mpumalanga on Wednesday.
"A racist country like Australia says…'EFF wants to kill white farmers – they must come to Australia'," explained Malema to a roaring and red-clad crowd at the Mpumalanga Stadium.
"If they want to go, they must go."
However, he added: "They must leave the keys of the tractors because we want to work the land; they must leave the keys of the houses, because we want to live in those houses."
"They must leave everything that they did not come with to South Africa."
He said those who emigrated must "leave quietly" because those who stayed "are too busy".
"Don’t make a noise because you will irritate us."
He believed that those who went to Australia, would be poor there. "They are rich here because they are exploiting black people."
As such, those who left, would eventually return "with the tail between their legs" and at that point "we will hire them because we will be the owners of their farms", the party leader said.
Malema said that some people and institutions misunderstood EFF members.
"Today we say: let’s talk about how are we going to expropriate land without compensation.
"We don’t know violence; we know negotiation."
Ultimately, the policy needed to be implemented because: "our land is our dignity".
