EFF president Julius Malema has filed an urgent contempt of court application in the Gauteng High Court, Pretoria, against Ngizwe Mchunu, according to papers lodged with the court.
The application seeks an order declaring Mchunu guilty of contempt and sentencing him to six months’ imprisonment without the option of a fine.
Malema’s legal team contends that Mchunu intentionally and unlawfully continued making defamatory statements about the EFF leader in defiance of a court order granted on 5 June 2026, and that he intentionally and unlawfully refused to comply with and respect that order.
“Intentionally and unlawfully continued making defamatory statements about the CIC in defiance of a court order granted on 5 June 2026.”
The matter is scheduled to be heard on 17 June 2026.
