Source: Musk Calls for Sanctions Against Malema
埃隆·马斯克呼吁立即对经济自由战士领导人朱利叶斯·马勒马实施制裁，称他为“国际罪犯”，因为他过去的言论和他在集会上高呼“杀死布尔人”的有争议口号。 在 X 上的一系列帖子中，马斯克直接向南非总统西里尔·拉马福萨发问：“你为什么允许这种事情发生？这是南非议会的一个主要政党，他们的领导人正在呼吁对白人进行种族灭绝。” 后来，马斯克升级了自己的立场，写道：“立即对马勒马实施制裁，并宣布他为国际罪犯！” 马斯克的呼吁是在南非政府紧张时刻发出的，就在几天前，美国冻结了对该国的财政援助。 白宫表示，南非的土地征用政策以及南非在国际法院对以色列提起的诉讼令人担忧。这一举动遭到了比勒陀利亚的严厉批评。 南非国际关系与合作部对援助冻结作出回应，指责美国采取“错误信息和宣传”行动。随着紧张局势加剧，分析人士警告说，南非与西方国家的外交和经济关系可能会面临越来越大的压力。 马斯克的制裁呼吁是否会获得支持还有待观察，但对马勒马言论的争论——以及南非更广泛的政治格局——继续引起全球关注。
Elon Musk has called for immediate sanctions against Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) leader Julius Malema, labeling him an “international criminal” over past remarks and his controversial chanting of “Kill the Boer” at rallies.
In a series of posts on X, formerly Twitter, Musk directly addressed South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, asking, “Why do you allow this, @CyrilRamaphosa? This is a major political party in the South African parliament and their leader is calling for genocide of white people.”
Later, Musk escalated his position, writing: “Immediate sanctions for Malema and declaration of him as an international criminal!”
The call from Musk comes at a tense moment for South Africa’s government, just days after the United States froze financial assistance to the country.
The White House cited concerns over South Africa’s land expropriation policy and its lawsuit against Israel at the International Court of Justice. The move has drawn sharp criticism from Pretoria.
South Africa’s Department of International Relations and Cooperation (DIRCO) responded to the aid freeze by accusing the US of acting on “misinformation and propaganda.”
As tensions mount, analysts warn that South Africa’s diplomatic and economic relationships with Western nations could come under increasing strain.
Whether Musk’s call for sanctions gains traction remains to be seen, but the debate over Malema’s rhetoric—and the broader political landscape in South Africa—continues to draw global attention.
