20 September 2023
The Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) welcomes the judgement by the Gauteng High Court, Johannesburg Division which found that reports by the Daily Sun, a Media24 outlet, contained both in its print and digital
media platforms alleging that Dr. Mbuyiseni Ndlozi had supposedly raped an individual, were "unlawful and defamatory".
The judgement concluded that Media24 must "remove these unlawful and defamatory statements from all its media platforms including its website, Twitter account, and Facebook account within one week of the date of this order".
In essence, the Media24's Daily Sun unlawfully printed accusations that were false, baseless, and caused grave harm to the reputation and person of Dr. Mbuyiseni Ndlozi. Media24 was further directed "pay the costs of the application to date, including the costs of two counsel."
