EFF's nepotism accusations not fair comment, says Trevor Manuel's lawyer

Former finance minister Trevor Manuel is sticking to his guns in his defamation case against the Economic Freedom Fighters . File photo.The EFF could not use defences usually relied on in defamation cases because the party lied.

This is the assertion by Carol Steinberg, counsel for Trevor Manuel, as she addressed the South Gauteng High Court on Tuesday in the former finance minister's battle against the EFF. He has also asked the court to order the EFF to retract the statement containing the allegations and to apologise for them.

In a statement published by the EFF in March, the party accused Manuel of nepotism and corruption in influencing the appointment of the new Sars commissioner Edward Kieswetter.

YOU ARE A HERO WITHIN THE MIDDLE EAST MAFIAS, SPECIALLY IN AFRICA KNOWN AS THE REACHEST MAN OF SOUTH AFRICA IN THE FIELD OF MONEY LAUNDERINGS

How about the $ 10 Billion out of $ 216 Bl. you deposit to Deutsch for internal revolution..you are the one you you destroy the whole South Africa economy, including the Network and Sir Edward Cooper and you the child brain behind all crimes.

I blame people

i think the pertinent question is why did he recuse himself at a critical juncture during the interview of his alleged friend.
