Charges lodged against Malema and Shivambu
26 November 2018
The Minister of Public Enterprises, Mr Pravin Gordhan, today lodged two complaints against Messrs Julius Malema and Floyd Shivambu with the South African Police Service (SAPS), as well as at the Equality Court.
“The determined defence of corruption and the corrupt, using personal attacks, racism and alleged hate speech is not acceptable and must be challenged.
“I have not responded until now to the absolute nonsensical and unsubstantiated attacks, but extending these attacks to my family and threatening harmony amongst the people of South Africa was a step too far. Enough is enough,” Minister Gordhan said.
The complaints relate to multiple instances of public utterances and public statements that have impugned on Minister Gordhan’s dignity and good name. The complaint to SAPS was made at the Brooklyn police station in Pretoria.
