Trevor Manuel sues EFF for defamation in Kieswetter case

There should be no cloud hanging over Kieswetter’s appointment process, says Manuel. Picture: SUNDAY TIMES

In an application to the High Court in Johannesburg dated April 10, Manuel asked the court to declare the EFF’s comments about him defamatory and false. He also wanted the party to be compelled to remove the offending statement from its online platforms. Manuel also wants the EFF to be interdicted from repeating similar allegations.

“I would like to make myself available to serve my country in some or other capacity in future. But the statement makes it less likely that I could ever do so, for it says that I acted in a corrupt and nepotistic manner,” Manuel says in his founding affidavit.

EFF refuses to retract statement on Trevor Manuel over Kieswetter appointmentBall in your court Cleva Treva It’s strange EFF refuses to apologize. It doesn’t cost a cent to apologize. It has cost the party lots of money in legal cost where an apology would have sufficed. Maybe the VBS money is too much. The ball is on your court Mr Manuel. Back up your promise of legal action. Be careful though, they do not easily lose in court. You might end up losing with costs.
