Former finance minister wants the party to remove offending statements about him from its website and for the court to declare the comments defamatory and false

There should be no cloud hanging over Kieswetter’s appointment process, says Manuel. Picture: SUNDAY TIMES

In an application to the High Court in Johannesburg dated April 10, Manuel asked the court to declare the EFF’s comments about him defamatory and false. He also wanted the party to be compelled to remove the offending statement from its online platforms. Manuel also wants the EFF to be interdicted from repeating similar allegations.

“I would like to make myself available to serve my country in some or other capacity in future. But the statement makes it less likely that I could ever do so, for it says that I acted in a corrupt and nepotistic manner,” Manuel says in his founding affidavit.
