In a major development, Julius Malema and the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) have paid a substantial amount of R316,579.89 to AfriForum, as part of a settlement for two cost orders issued against them by the High Court. These cost orders are the result of AfriForum’s successful legal action, which barred Malema and the EFF from inciting land occupations.
This recent payment is the fifth in a series of settlements that Malema and the EFF have had to make to AfriForum, adding up to nearly R700,000. These legal disputes have arisen from various cases where they were on the losing side against AfriForum.
However, the legal battles are far from over. The EFF and Malema now face the challenge of settling two more cost orders. Both the Supreme Court of Appeal and the Constitutional Court have recently rejected their request to appeal the interdict related to inciting land occupations.
The stakes are high for Julius Malema and the EFF, as they are under pressure to “PayBackTheMoney.” Should they choose to ignore the court’s orders and incite land occupations once more, they run the risk of being held in contempt of court.
This ongoing legal saga highlights the importance of respecting court decisions and the financial consequences of disregarding legal orders.
