The ANC’s minister, Pravin Gordhan, has been ridiculed as a “dog of the white monopoly” and now the two EFF members, Malema and Shivambu are in a lawsuit started by the minister.
The two members of the EFF must defend themselves in the Equality Court where they face the onslaught of Gordhan’s legal representatives.
The battle between Gordhan and the EFF leaders followed after Malema supported the minister at a time when the unpopular Jacob Zuma was still on the scene, and the EFF’s slogan “Zuma must fall” was heard in parliament.
With Ramaphosa taking Gordhan back into the cabinet, the EFF leaders’ dissatisfaction was re-displayed when the minister was labeled a dog of the white monopoly, but which now led to a bitter fight in court.
