Juju wants to be back in Parliament to party and call rich people murderers. And to achieve his goal his party, the EFF, will mount an urgent legal challenge to get their leader – Julius (Juju) Malema – back after his suspension for calling deputy president and resident fat cat Cyril Ramaphosa a murder.
The news site that’s too scared to publish comments anymore, news24, reports the EFF is lodging an urgent court application to overturn the “illegal and arbitrary suspension” of the CIC [commander in chief] Malema and to suspend enforcement of these “criminal rules” until the courts have pronounced themselves on their unlawfulness and unconstitutionality.
Malema was removed by members of Parliament’s security services on Wednesday after he refused to retract a statement in which he called Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa a murderer. The EFF says it would not be intimidated by threats of physical violence and “illegal suspensions”.
“[Neither] the EFF nor the CIC Julius Malema will… apologise to a person whose hands are dripping with the blood of the workers of Marikana,” it said, referring to Ramaphosa. “We will be serving court papers on the Speaker of Parliament, Baleka Mbete. She must rest assured, the EFF shall emerge victorious,” the EFF says in a statement.
The party said it had already lodged a court application to “declare the rule amendments authorising physical assault of members of Parliament and their arbitrary suspension as unlawful and unconstitutional.”
