Judgment in Mbalula, Dlamini-Zuma defamation case reserved
Mbalula's legal representative says Dlamini-Zuma has no shred of evidence to back up her claims.
The Gauteng High Court in Johannesburg has reserved its judgment in the defamation case between ANC Secretary-General Fikile Mbalula and ANC NEC member Dr Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma. The case stems from Dlamini-Zuma's allegations that Mbalula used money to secure his position during the 2022 ANC Elective Conference. Mbalula has dismissed these claims and requested Dlamini-Zuma to retract them, stating that his legal representative has no evidence to support her assertions.
Dlamini-Zuma maintains her stance, presenting ANC member Mandla Sibiya's affidavit as evidence of vote-buying. Her lawyer, Advocate Muzi Sikhakhane, has called for a full trial to uncover the truth, dismissing the urgency of Mbalula's application to retract his statement.
