  "summary": "Julius Malema, leader of the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), has been ordered by the National Assembly Speaker Thoko Didiza to apologise to Judge Elias Matojane and the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) in the National Assembly by September 30, 2026. This order came after Malema's questioning of Judge Matojane during a 2021 Judicial Service Commission (JSC) interview, which led to a complaint to the Ethics Committee. The Ethics Committee found that Malema had violated various clauses of the Code of Ethical Conduct and Disclosure of Members' Interests, and resolved that he must enter an apology in the House. Malema had already instituted a review application in the Western Cape High Court in February 2022, but the High Court dismissed it in May 2025, finding that all his grounds of review were without merit.",
