Court Battle: Trevor Manuel: ‘Public must be disabused of EFF lies’

Former finance minister Trevor Manuel has asked the Gauteng High Court to urgently hear his application – before 1 May – to demand that the EFF desists from defaming him in relation to his role in interviewing a new SA Revenue Service commissioner.I have contracted the time periods required. I have done so because it is urgent that the public be disabused of the lies the EFF is perpetrating,” says Manuel in court papers before the Gauteng High Court. He has called it a “semi-urgent” application.

The party refused and the case is now headed to court. Manuel will ask the court to compel the EFF to remove the offending statement from their media platforms and to interdict and restrain the respondents from “publishing substantially the same false and defamatory statements about me again”.

After reporter Annika Larsen tweeted Manuel’s first statement opposing the EFF statement, Malema replied: “He can go to hell, we are not scared of him.” The EFF wants to know why Manuel stayed on as an observer during the interview and the party’s lawyers have tabled a long list of requests for information detailing the relationship between the two men.

EFF refuses to retract statement on Trevor Manuel over Kieswetter appointmentBall in your court Cleva Treva It’s strange EFF refuses to apologize. It doesn’t cost a cent to apologize. It has cost the party lots of money in legal cost where an apology would have sufficed. Maybe the VBS money is too much. The ball is on your court Mr Manuel. Back up your promise of legal action. Be careful though, they do not easily lose in court. You might end up losing with costs.
