“This is a journalist who effectively wants to deregister the EFF. A journalist who says the EFF has no business operating as a party in South Africa,” said advocate Vuyani Ngwalana. Brown wants the court to declare that Malema breached the electoral code. She is also seeking an order formally warning Malema and imposing a fine of R100,000 on him and lastly, she is demanding an apology from him and the party within a day of the order.

“We submit that the applicant has not conducted herself in a manner that is objective and fair, as espoused by the press code,” argued Ngalwana.Malema tweeted a screenshot of the message and accused her of being an ANC “mole” and a spy.
