EFF hits back at Gordhan with charges of their own
26 November 2018
Following charges laid by Public Enterprises Minister Pravin Gordhan against EFF leader Julius Malema on Monday, the red berets have hit back, announcing that they will lay charges, including corruption and money laundering, against the minister on Tuesday.
In a statement issued on Monday, the EFF announced that a criminal case involving money laundering, corruption, racketeering, fraud, perjury, as well as contravention of the Intelligence Act and Prevention and Combating of Corrupt Activities Act, will be opened against Gordhan.
The party said it would open the case at the Brooklyn police station in Pretoria, which is the same police station that Gordhan used to open cases of criminal defamation and crimen injuria against Malema and EFF deputy president Floyd Shivambu.
In addition to two criminal charges laid on Monday, Gordhan will also be laying a complaint of hate speech against Malema, following some of his comments made recently.
