    Black First Land First (BLF) is an anti racist revolutionary movement that seeks to end white

    supremacy that was inaugurated in South Africa on the arrival of a European settler horde under the
    leadership of the criminal Jan van Riebeeck in 1652. The genocidal program against the African
    people was in the main driven by land dispossession. Racism is born from the above processes.

    Furthermore, BLF as an anti racist organization believes that blacks cant be racist but are victims of
    racism which is perpetuated by whites for their own benefit. Racism is the most violent process. It
    has both overt and covert mechanisms to reproduce itself. Having normalised itself, its presents
    white bodies as being more deserving of protection than black bodies. Racism furthermore has the
    elements as described in paragraph (a) of the court order. BLF is at war with racism. It is therefore
    ipso facto opposed to a society that treats its members with violence. We understand that racism
    will ultimately be defeated by ending its institutionalized basis.

    BLF assures the Applicants that it would not, and had never intended to, harm them in anyway. Our
    fight is with racism and BLF shall continue to use our fundamental right to protest to counter any
    acts of racism. Only the end of racism shall ensure enduring peace for all in a just society where all
    citizens shall have equal substantive rights.

    BLF also welcomes the clarification by the order that private homes are not zones of protest. The
    standard of protesting at homes of citizens was becoming a common occurance in our society. From
    now on, no one shall dare launch any protest at the private homes of their adversaries. This is a
    welcome development. Indeed, protesting at the Gupta family home is as undesirable as protesting
    at the home of Peter Bruce. BLF welcomes this and shall encourage all to abide by this civilised
    behaviour in equal measure.

    BLF reserves its rights to protest as per the rights quaranteed in the Constitution. Our protest will be
    directed at racists and never at black people because blacks cant be racist even those who we may
    consider as being aids to white supremacy have immunity from any protest.
