Malema threatens to sue Zille over Joburg tender allegations
Zille has until Wednesday, 11 November, to apologise.
EFF leader Julius Malema is threatening to sue DA candidate Helen Zille over her comments about the relationship between Malema and ActionSA leader Herman Mashaba. Zille's remarks, made in an interview with eNCA, accused Mashaba of allowing Malema to dictate decisions and gain control over City Power and the fleet tender. Malema's lawyer, Angelike Charalambous, sent a legal letter to media outlets demanding that Zille retract her comments and issue an apology.
Charalambous claimed Zille's statements were made to damage Malema's reputation and seek revenge for his opposition to her political career. If Zille does not comply, the matter will escalate with further legal action and a claim for damages.
