EFF vs Karima Brown: Court hears journalist is unprofessional, not objective
6 May 2019
The lawyer representing the EFF argued in the Gauteng High Court in Johannesburg on Monday that journalist and political commentator Karima Brown did not conduct herself in a fair, objective or professional manner in her criticism of the EFF.
"The journalist we are dealing with is one who is intent on having a registered political party deregistered. That is the context.
"When one is confronted with these kinds of utterances by a journalist, is one to sit idly by and not express concern in a WhatsApp message a journalist has put out?" Vuyani Ngalwana, SC, submitted to the court.
Ngalwana was referring to several examples of commentary in which Brown was critical of the EFF ahead of her court battle with the political party.
