Former finance minister Trevor Manuel is not backing down in his battle with TV host and political commentator JJ Tabane.

The two have been at loggerheads for weeks over claims made by Tabane in a podcast hosted by Sbusiso “DJ Sbu” Leope.

Manuel has applied to the Johannesburg high court, seeking an order to force Tabane and DJ Sbu to retract the claims unconditionally. Manuel wants his application heard on an urgent basis after Tabane refused to apologise and withdraw his claims. [Tabane and DJ Sbu] are interdicted from publishing or republishing the defamatory statements; the episode of [DJ Sbu’s] podcast published on 15 April 15; and any statement that says or implies that [Manuel] was involved in the formation of Cope.
