Following the EFF’s 10th birthday celebrations in August last year, Musk and Malema had a back-and-forth over the latter’s singing of Kill The Boer.

‘WE WANT PEACE’

Just days before Elon Musks’’s tweet, Julius Malema urged EFF members not to engage in violence ahead of the presidential elections this year.

According to EWN, Julius delivered the message during his campaign tour, which kickstarted in KwaZulu-Natal last weekend.

He said: “We must hate seeing the blood of black people because if we don’t want to see our own blood, let’s not see the blood of others.

“We want peace, and we want tolerance, and we want successful elections.”
