He repeated the allegations in an interview with the Sowetan newspaper and again when member of parliament debated the Sona after which the Malemas launched two separate civil suits against him.
The court found that Mamabolo’s allegations were defamatory, unlawful and ordered him sent an apology, authored by the court, to the Malemas which should be posted on his social media accounts. The apology reads: “I would like to offer my sincere and unreserved apology to Mr and Mrs Malema for the unfortunate comments I made during the State of the Nation Address on 13 February 2020. I repeated these harmful comments in the media and on the occasion of the debate of the State of the Nation Address on 18 February 2020.
“It was indeed uncalled for. No one should false accuse anyone or even joke about gender based violence. I understand that this put not only you in harm but also your children, I apologise and commit to never repeat these comments any again.”
