Lawyers of Mantoa Malema, wife of EFF Commander in Chief and President, Julius Malema wrote a scathing letter to ANC MP, Boy Mamabolo.
The letter is in response to claims made against Malema by Mamabolo over domestic abuse of his wife. Mamaboo made these claims during the SONA last week.
Points highlighted in it includes the following statements:
Your defamatory statements referred to hereinabove gravely disappoint our client. To proceed to mock victims of gender-based violence, especially in the current climate our country is facing, by accusing Innocent people of it just to tarnish their image o”settle a score” is unacceptable of a person in our current society, most especially a person who is a member of parliament.
Our client furthermore regards your false defamatory statements an abuse to him physically and emotionally and thereby extension, an abuse to her children.
The letter concluded by saying Mamabolo should comply and retract the statements among other demands.
Failure, to comply, the letter said actions against him will be be taken, instituting damages to Mamabolo of R1 000 00.00 (One Million Rand)
EFF party leader Julius Malema confirmed he also sent a letter to Mamabolo. Malema who was speaking in parliament said he sued Boy Mamabolo a million rand as well.
