Journalist Karima Brown wins case against EFF
6 June 2019
The Gauteng High Court in Johannesburg has ruled in favour of political journalist Karima Brown in a case against the Economic Freedom Fighters.
Speaking to News24, following the ruling on Thursday morning, Brown said: "This is a victory for media freedom, a victory against sexism and it is victory for women in journalism and protection and freedom of the media."
Brown said the court found the EFF had contravened the electoral code and must pay costs. She could not specify how much the costs were.
The talk show host hauled the party to court after receiving death and rape threats after EFF leader Julius Malema published her number on Twitter.
