Malema found guilty in equality court

How could he afford R50 000?
You have to remember comrade Malema 'leads a live of poverty and deprivation'.
 
Malema must apologise, pay fine

Johannesburg – The Equality Court on Monday found ANC Youth League president Julius Malema guilty of hate speech and harassment.

"This court is satisfied that the utterances by the respondent... amounted to hate speech," said Magistrate Colleen Collis.

"The uttered words constitute harassment as contemplated in the Equality Act."

Collis ordered Malema to make an unconditional public apology within two weeks and pay R50 000 to a centre for abused women within one month.

Collis concluded her judgment with a word of wisdom to Malema.

"Mr Malema, being a man of vast political influence, be wary of turning into a man that often speaks but never talks."

Vindicated

The Sonke Gender Justice group's Mbuyiselo Botha extended a hand of friendship to Malema outside court after the judgment.

"We open our doors to the Youth League and Mr Malema. We would like to work with them," Botha told reporters.

He said Sonke would like to work with the league in addressing problems young people of SA face on a daily basis.

Botha said Sonke felt vindicated after the ruling in their favour. Asked what he wanted Malema to say in his apology, Botha replied: "We want him to say he apologises for the hurt and the pain he caused."

A handful of Sonke supporters celebrated outside the court, carrying placards that stated "Only one in 20 rapes are reported" and singing "Malema is a Mickey Mouse".

Joyce Dlamini, 27, said she was "very excited" by the judgment.

Malema 'a Mickey Mouse'

"We were singing that Malema doesn't know what he wants. He's got a big, loud mouth but he's a Mickey Mouse."

Malema's lawyer Tumi Mokwena said that he would study the judgment and take instructions from his client, who was not present at court, on whether to appeal or not.

Sonke took Malema to court for saying President Jacob Zuma's rape accuser had "a nice time".

He made the comment while addressing 150 Cape Peninsula University of Technology students last January.

According to court papers, Malema said "when a woman didn't enjoy it, she leaves early in the morning. Those who had a nice time will wait until the sun comes out, request breakfast and ask for taxi money".

He was referring to the woman who had accused Zuma of rape, a charge on which he was acquitted.

Unfortunately words are empty.

In the legal world, very often an official apology gets drafted by an attorney and the person who must apologise, never even sees it, let alone put any thought or effort into it ...

How many laws must he break to qualify as president?

Lets see,
1 you have to have brokered corrupt deal of some kind.
2 you have to have been accused of rape. Shower optional.

Other requirements are at least 3 wives and minimum of 18 kids. But you may not need to have any form of education or indeed a brain, having those kind of things might make you over qualified and therefore ineligible for the job.

Rational people will understand that, but when you include his supporters rationality is not a survival trait there, and all they will see is that malema has apologised, therefore he must have been wrong in what he said. And hopefully, this will spark a further though, what else could he have been wrong about.

Or is that too positive thinking for this case ?

I'm afraid so. I like to be positive but unfortunately we are talking about ANC supporters here. What you are hoping for requires some form of thought, for that you need a brain.

All they will see is a coconut, third force or racist white that made their hero apologize for nothing.
 
ANC youth league gets 8 votes don't they, so nobody in the ANC is going to criticize him.

Wonder if the equality court can impose jail sentences, think you'd need a criminal court for that. Speaking under correction.


In his line of work (and I use the term loosely) it wouldn't matter.

Would count for him in the ANC.
 
I wish that snake Malema, along with all his corrupt, racist ANC cronies would crawl back under the rock they slithered from. Unfortunately, he's going to be President instead.
