16 Nov 2020 - The YouTube thumbnail of a video by David Scott aka The Kiffness "exploring the parallels between Hitler & Malema’s rise to power " | Image: Twitter
David Scott, popularly known as The Kiffness, has drawn the ire of many a South African social media user after he tried to compare Economic Freedom Fighters leader Julius Malema with Adolf Hitler.
Scott made the comparison in a YouTube video, which was inspired by a similar sentiment shared by the DA in response to the EFF’s protest outside Brackenfell High School following a racist incident at the school.
“The Nazis had the brown shirts that went around terrorizing minorities, South Africa has the red shirts #BrackenfellHigh,” tweeted the DA.
“It’s actually quite scary how similar the parallels are… we can learn from history and make sure history isn’t repeated here in South Africa,” said Scott.
