"Malema pulls the apartheid card"

[Kornhub]

According to the Mail&Guardian Online, a top law firm has suddenly withdrawn as ANC Youth League president Julius Malema’s representation in his “shoot the boer” case.

A top lawyer at the firm has apparently resigned over it, and Malema himself rushed to accuse Edward Nathan Sonnenbergs (ENS) of racism.

ENS is Africa’s largest law firm, and ENS chief executive Peter Faber has denied that the withdrawal had anything to do with racism. He also denied that the withdrawal had caused rifts within the firm.

Malema was taken to court by Afriforum, a civil society group, for singing of the above mentioned song, which was, according to the group, fuelling the country’s culture of violence against white farmers.

Malema said it was his right to sing struggle songs, and he was supported by both the ANC and Cosatu in his application.

Apparently the company’s withdrawal was related to politics, but an insider has said that one group of lawyers was concerned that Malema’s singing of the song could endanger their own families who owned farms.

However, another group, which included attorney Peter Tshisevhe – who was the man who resigned – said the decision could not be made on a personal basis.

Malema apparently said of the firm’s withdrawal that it was both racist and unprofessional, and the taking of sides was evidence that the firm still operated as though “we [were] under the apartheid regime.

He went on to say that they acted in a racist manner and asked, “If they can treat the president of the ANC Youth League like this, how about ordinary people?”

if they can treat the president of the ANC Youth League like this,

I never heard of the ancyl before fatboy and knew even less who the 'president' was.

Delusions of grandeur comes to mind.

These anc folk love their titles.

Is he aware that after making such statements, there is just about now law firm in SA willing to put their reputation on the line and take his case?

From now on, when things don't go my way, I'm going to accuse people of racism. If they ask why, I'll answer "If the future president of SA can do it, so can I".

LMFAO

Damn straight. These political knobs should be treated worse than the people - they are meant to answer to the people after all. Well done ENS.

And in other news, Malema call for law firms to be nationalised.

 

[TJ99]

They just know a loser when they see one. Even Africa's largest law firm can't save that piece of **** from getting pwnt in court.

ENS previously complained that Malema had failed to pay legal costs amounting to R900 000 but Phosa said he told the company that the ANC would pay Malema's legal costs.

The anc or the taxpayer ?

 

[Lightscribe]

Cry for us malema...

The one reason malema must not be killed (yet), is so that he can live through the hell he made of his life... Hahahahahaha!

Racist
Agent

LOL

I've said this before...The guy makes an absolute arse of himself 99,9% of the time, but I once heard him interviewed on SAFM and he talked sense. Yes, I was astounded too...maybe it was his doppelganger.

 

[blunomore]

For those of you who think he's just some loony spitting nonsense of his own accord with no support and no backing from the ANC ... the article mentions that the ANC will pay his legal bill at ENS, coming to something like R900 000.

If that is not support, I don't know what is.

Agree. I've always maintained that he has the blessing of the ANC national executive to cause mayhem. They use him to float ideas to the public and to put their more radical future plans into the public space, e.g. nationalisation of mines.

Err...he does have tacit approval! Otherwise the ANC would have called him out on everything he says as they always do when he goes after ANC leaders. And Phosa is a Malema ally & the ANC will probably claim he doesn't speak for them.
