# The EFF says it will challenge the Equality Court’s ruling against leader Julius Malema at the Supreme Court of Appeal. The court found Malema guilty of hate speech and inciting violence. The case stems from a 2022 rally speech where Malema chastised party members for not acting against a white man, who was part of a group that attacked them outside Brackenfell High School in October 2020. The EFF says the ruling is a grave distortion of history, philosophy, and the nature of political speech in a democratic society.
