Media personality Anele Mdoda has come out in support of the EFF in holding a “racist teen” from Hoërskool Ben Vorster accountable for his actions.
This comes after the 15-year-old and his sister joined a live-stream hosted by Youtuber Sonwabile on the gaming app Kick, calling him an “EFF K****r.”
The video of the incident recently began circulating on the internet with Julius Malema’s political party expressing their disgust. The party then decided to march to the learner’s school in Limpopo to demand expulsion.
Meanwhile, Anele took to her X (formerly Twitter) account in agreement with the men and women in red.
The mother of one recently commented on the matter telling her followers to “find the kids and make them trend.” Later, the radio presenter also commented on further developments, saying:
“Hope charges are pressed, drag the court case until they are old enough to go to jail.”

She then reposted a tweet shared by another user who praised the party for their swift action.
The tweet read: “Well done fighters. The racist child must be expelled and taught a lesson never to be a racist again. It’s the only way to get rid of racism.”

Despite the big uproar, some users feel that expulsion would be a harsh punishment as the perpetrator was still a minor. Others agreed that children should be taught better and that a serious discussion needs to held with their parents and the school.
“He’s a child, expulsion is extreme. He just needs new learnings, sadly, parents are responsible for that,” one person wrote.

Another added: “What that child said was completely unacceptable and should be taken up with the school and with the family. It must be condemned and we should expect better of our youth, however, the sheer amount of doxxing of an under-aged child by prominent media personalities is abhorrent.”
