Afriforum has previously called on international governments to impose sanctions on Malema.
Afriforum welcomes the UK (UK) decision to reject EFF leader Julius Malema AA Visa, saying, “This is just the beginning.”
This comes hours before he left South Africa for the Cambridge Conference after British authorities refused Malema's permission to enter England on Wednesday.
Visa was rejected
The EFF said that Malema was invited by the Cambridge University Africa Association to be the subject of the 11th Cambridge Africa Africa Conference on the “Production of the Future President of Africa.”
“It can only be explained as a ban on administrative editing for the EFF president, and the UK High Commissioner has actively delayed the processing and approval of CIC's visa applications and sent a letter of regret that it would not be processed in time for the University of Cambridge address.”

The EFF said a letter of regret was sent on Wednesday when Malema was set to depart for the UK after confirming that the visa would be processed that afternoon.
Afriforum Happy
Afriforum CEO Kallie Kriel welcomed the move.
“Great news! This is just the beginning. Afriforum is strengthening its international campaign and calls on the global community to take punitive action against Julius Malema for inciting violence against Africans and farmers with the “kill Boer” chant.
“The South African courts have failed to protect Africans from calls for violence against them, and President Ramaphosa refused to condemn the hateful chant. International intervention has become necessary to ensure that Malema cannot act with immunity,” Kriel said in a post in X.
British High Lawyer
In a letter to EFF Vice President Godrich Gardee, British High Commissioner Anthony Phillipson said he had followed the processing of the visa required for Malema.
Philipson apologised for a colleague at the Home Office who unfortunately said he could not process the application.

delay
This is due to the steps required to consider applying for a visa and the timing of recent UK bank holidays.
“We recognize this is a very unfortunate, especially as the delegation was applied in advance and paid for priority services. We would like to ensure that we have a personal interest in this issue and communicate regularly with relevant home office staff regarding the incident, including last week and this morning,” Philipson said.

“But I fear there is no way to intervene in the decision-making process itself, which is simply a matter of the Ministry of Home Affairs.
“Given the fact that the purpose of the visit is to attend the Cambridge Conference and that it is no longer possible, it will be open to the delegation to withdraw the application on this occasion. If the delegation chose to do so, the home office chose to fully refund all application fees,” he said.
“I'll kill Boer”
Malema was attacked for inflammatory political messages, including encouraging land invasion.
Afriforum urged the international government to impose sanctions against Malema for the chant “kill Boer.”
In March, US President Donald Trump assaulted Malema's “Kill Bohr” chant.
This comes after Space X and Tesla's South Africa-born CEO Elon Musk shared a post about his Platform X's “major political parties actively promoting white genocide in the country.”
Trump then took him to his true social platform, where he posted a screenshot of Musk's tweet on the issue.
Concourt's Arbitration
The US President's post sparked a spark of enthusiasm from Criel.
In the same month, the Constitutional Court rejected an Afriforum leave application to appeal an earlier ruling that found the song of the struggle was not hate speech.
Concourt concluded that the application “has no reasonable prospects for success.”
The ruling came when he was urged to take action against Malema for singing Dubule Yvene at a Human Rights Day rally in Sharpeville.
