EFF leader’s decision not to challenge in court media reports alleging that he personally benefited from VBS funds described as ‘telling’

EFF leader Julius Malema has lost his defamation appeal against a former party member and MP, Thembinkosi Rawula, in the Supreme Court of Appeal .

Representing himself in court, Rawula maintained that Malema had admitted receiving VBS money in a meeting of the EFF central command team . “There was nothing in the evidence to gainsay his claim that he had obtained access to privileged information because he served on the CCT,” the SCA said. This was evidenced, according to Rawula, by the fact that the party’s financial records had not been tabled before the CCT since 2014.
