CIC JULIUS MALEMA'S STATEMENT OF APOLOGY TO PRESIDENT RAMAPHOSA AND HIS FAMILY
Thursday, 20 February 2020
Today, following President Ramaphosa's apology to my wife and family, I stood in parliament to return the same hand to him, his departed wife, Nomazizi and his entire family.
I was however, drowned down by ruling party benches without any protection from presiding officers.
After a long discussion with my wife about the President's apology, I have decided to pen down the apology that I should have communicated on the platform of the Joint Sitting of Parliament where it belonged.
My wife was assaulted through terrible, malicious and harmful comments by an ANC MP during SONA last week Thursday, 13 February 2020. The same harmful comments were repeated in the media by the same ANC MP. I never said anything, neither did the EFF. The same ANC MP stood once more and made the same comments during the debate, five days after the initial moment during the SONA. Still, we did nothing to dignify these comments with a response.
