# Eastern Cape premier Oscar Mabuyane has initiated legal proceedings against EFF leader Julius Malema in the High Court in KuGompo City over alleged defamatory statements. He is asking the court to declare Malema’s claims that he fraudulently obtained a master’s degree from the University of Fort Hare as false and unlawful, award damages, and prevent further remarks. Spokesperson Sonwabo Mbananga says the repeated allegations have harmed Mabuyane’s reputation:
