EFF presents new affidavits in Trevor Manuel defamation matter; case postponed

JOHANNESBURG - Former Finance Minister Trevor Manuel’s defamation case against the Economic Freedom Fighters on Tuesday was postponed for a week after the red berets presented new affidavits to the Johannesburg High Court.

Manuel approached the High Court after the EFF accused him of a conflict of interest in the appointment of new South African Revenue Service Commissioner Edward Kieswetter. This was the second time this week that the EFF had been taken to court just hours before South Africans are set to cast their ballots in the general elections.

Manuel’s defamation case was expected to be heard next Tuesday as the judge had asked for more time to study new affidavits presented by the EFF. In March, the red berets issued a statement just hours ahead of Kieswetter’s announcement as the new Sars commissioner, describing his appointment process as corrupt.The EFF claimed Manuel favoured Kieswetter because of his alleged friendly relationship with him.

Desparation by EFF. EFF trying to take on a little too much now. K Brown Pravin Manuel . Too much for wet pants to handle 😁. Who is fooling who here? Ok forgot the PP on EFF side. 😁😁

Desperation of Mr finance
