Commercial cleaning company Afri-Services has slapped the party with a lawsuit of more than R10 million for alleged racist statements published by its labour desk on social media, as well as for allegedly defying an earlier court order to render an apology

The company is claiming an additional R4 million from the EFF for reducing its esteem in the eyes of the public. Photo:Isabel Venter, Netwerk24The company, whose headquarters are in Vereeniging, south of Johannesburg, filed its combined summons in the Johannesburg High Court on April 8, requesting that the EFF pay reputational damages for what it deemed “racist and harmful statements propelled by the red berets on Facebook on January 18 2021”.

City Press previously reported that the company had been granted an interdict from the same court in June, which prohibited the EFF from facilitating labour-related disputes between Afri-Services and its employees, particularly those working at the Toyota dealership in Barloworld in Witbank, Mpumalanga.Subscribe to News24 for just R75 per month to read all our investigative and in-depth journalism.

Tell that nonsense of yours to open their zips and they will find repetitional damage hanging there

It's about time that the EFF is held to account for its actions. It needs to understand that it's not the government, but an opposition party.

Mr Toygun it seems you have a huge problem on your hands.

South Africa can kick start its economy by: 1- Remove all racist BBBEE laws 2- Remove all labour law red type 3- Reduce Company Income tax to 22%! Newzroom405 eNCA DStv403 PowerToTruth

Nothing will happen.

Time to pay up ... loving that expression on his face. When in court.. his gone claim past wrongs and make a spectacul of the case.

Shame not a good year for Frikkie… Looks like he’s gonna spend more time than his uncle JZ in court this year 🤔

It should not be too bad. If another mil people join with R10 each. No problem.

HAAAAA!!!

Well deserved 👌

Your reporting is poor... We are way ahead of this cheap propaganda and bull 🤞🏿

GeneFMyburgh I have no details or backstory on this but I’m with Afrihost-Services all the way. 👍🏻

You want to bamba... Now pay

Sadly EFFers see racism charges against EFFSouthAfrica as something to be proud. This is not helped by the fact that SAHRCommission condones hate speech from the party.

You are paining baloi.

Racist boers gave us the ANC...the ANC gave us the racist EFF... Shit rolls downhill 💩

Do you thing that EFF are they future government being sued by local company for racist utterences

Afri ke bo mang

Well here is some fabulous news to start the day off. Make sure you go after the leader in his personal capacity. Racist bigots cannot prosper in SA.

We see you but don't force us to subscribe and pay R75. News24 is failing.

Wish there could be more of this!

EFF e ba jesa ka di pipe. They will never sell their news without EFF.

ANC failed, Journalists failed, DA failed, AfriForum failed, WMC failed, Influencers failed, Clever Blacks failed' so paid organisations like ActionSA, PA, Dudula and PutSouthAficansFirst won't succeed to derail Generational Mission and Mandate of EFF' Amaaaaaaaaandla ✊✊✊

We are still angry an this one…

Excellent! That will put a dent in Mal Emma's bank account! 💰 🤑 💸

KuDeLo waZiyo_Ho!

Sounds like you’re reporting on a judgement

So EFF is being sued for being EFF!!

Good

Ka_Zi!
