It's not hate speech, it's a metaphor.

It's not assaulting a police officer, it's mourning at a funeral.
It's not theft from VBS, it's a business transaction.
It's not destroying property rights, it's land reform.

More than 50% of South Africans live in poverty, and the ANC donates money to Cuba. The ANC is the enemy of the people.
The government will be making a donation of about 50 million rand to the people of Cuba, whom it says, are affected by food security problems due to sanctions imposed by the United State of America against the country.
