EFF to pay R500K for ‘egregious and hurtful’ conduct against Manuel

In a judgment delivered in the South Gauteng High Court on Thursday morning, Judge Keoagile Elias Matojane also ordered the EFF to remove the statements from all their media platforms within 24 hours and apologise to Manuel.In the statement the EFF said: “One of the candidates who was interviewed and favoured by the panel, is a dodgy character called Edward Kieswetter, who is not just a relative of Trevor Manuel, but a close business associate and companion.

Matojane said that the EFF knew that the impugned statement was false because the “EFF members of parliament were present on February 7 when the president announced that he was implementing the recommendations of the Nugent Commission to appoint a new SARS Commissioner in his State of the Nation Address.

“There is therefore no basis for saying that the process was secretive. Even if the process was secretive, they had a legal remedy that they could have resorted to.”

We will never pay

They can use some of the VSB money to pay

I enjoy when Judiciary cut the stiffened neck of impunity! Words taken from Chief Justice in INKANDLA matter!

Weeee...
