Malema ordered to apologise to Judge Matojane and JSC by 30 September
EFF leader Julius Malema has been ordered by a parliamentary committee to tender an apology to a Supreme Court of Appeal judge and the Judicial Services Commission no later than September 30.
National Assembly Speaker Thoko Didiza has mandated EFF leader Julius Malema to deliver an apology to Judge Elias Matojane and the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) by 30 September 2026. This requirement arose from Malema's probing questions about a previous ruling during a 2021 Judicial Service Commission (JSC) investigation. Malema's inquiries regarding a former finance minister's financial obligation to the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) prompted complaints to the Ethics Committee, which found him in violation of various sections of the Code of Ethical Conduct.
Despite Malema's subsequent review application in the Western Cape High Court, the court dismissed his grounds of review in May 2025. Consequently, Didiza ordered Malema to apologize in the House no later than February 2026, following a referral by the National Assembly Speaker. EFF MP Sinawo Thambo will also submit an apology on a separate matter by the same deadline.
