The Citizen contacted Mngxitama, who admitted that he told De Vos to “f off and stop his racism” but also accused the legal expert of lying and said he would “never use white lawyers” and that BLF would “rather represent ourselves”.
“De Vos says I called him to ask for help in our case against Freedom Front Plus. It’s a lie. I never asked him to assist BLF.” An amicus curiae is: “someone who is not a party to a case and may or may not have been solicited by a party and who assists a court by offering information, expertise, or insight that has a bearing on the issues in the case; and is typically presented in the form of a brief.”“I was explicit that he has proffered a public opinion as an expert; I challenged him to put his so-called Constitutional law expertise before court and see if they would pass muster,” Mngxitama said.
BLF has consistently said they would not back down from being a blacks-only party and have even threatened to take up arms if barred from contesting elections.
This thing is an attention seeker.
