Thembinkosi Rawula, who resigned from the EFF early this year after accusing leaders Julius Malema and Floyd Shivambu of using party money to fund their lifestyles, has won the defamation court case instituted against him by Malema, by MandiNyathi

The EFF leader approached the Eastern Cape division of the South African High Court on May 21, accusing Rawula of defamation as a result of the latter having accused Malema and Shivambu of financial mismanagement and of accepting a donation from the now-defunct VBS Mutual Bank.These allegations came just weeks after Rawula was excluded from the list of candidates who would be representing the EFF in Parliament and the provincial legislature after the May general elections.

However, Mulins said that because of Rawula’s previous senior position, he was in a better position to prove that the claims were true. Rawula, who was representing himself, welcomed the judgement, referring to it as a “victory of public interest”.
