Malema apologises to the JSC and Judge Elias Matojane
EFF leader Julius Malema has apologized to the JSC Judge Elias Matojane in the National Assembly.
Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) leader Julius Malema has expressed regret to the Judicial Services Commission (JSC) and Judge Elias Matojane in the National Assembly for an inquiry he made during the JSC hearings in 2021 regarding a Supreme Court of Appeal position. Malema breached ethical guidelines and failed to disclose his financial interests when he questioned Judge Matojane about a ruling requiring the EFF to pay former Finance Minister Trevor Manual R500,000.
The Ethics Committee imposed sanctions on Malema after he appealed the decision at the Western Cape High Court, which dismissed his review application. In his apology, delivered in his native language and translated by National Assembly Speaker Thokoko Didiza, Malema stated he was complying with the requirements of the assembly.
