Trevor Manuel failed to show he was harmed by EFF allegations, court told

“He has not demonstrated the actual harm that has befallen him. Has Mr Manuel been asked to resign from his numerous board directorships? No.

“Have there been demurring murmurs in Stellenbosch … where he goes out shopping or people huddling in silent whispers wherever he moves? You will find nothing on that in the papers,” Ngwalwana said. Ngalwana said the EFF had information from a credible source when it issued the statement. “At the time of the issuing of the statement, the EFF and Dr Ndlozi did not know that the information was not true.”

However, Ngalwana said the issue contained in the EFF statement was not about Manuel, but was about the secrecy surrounding the interviewing process of the new Sars commissioner. “It is the transparency of the interview process that has always been an issue.” Ngalwana said after receiving the information from the source, the EFF wrote to parliament to ask whether potential conflict of interests by members of the interviewing panel and the interviewees were taken into account before the panel was appointed.Ngalwana said Manuel was simply anxious about the harm to his reputation. “He has not shown any evidence that his reputation has been harmed.”

I don't know how the EFF could say they didn't know he recused himself since it was published extensively, they should investigate an issue before throwing mud. But the defence of saying 'he suffered no material damage' exposes their strategy. Bullying!
