Malema issues a legal demand against Helen Zille over alleged defamatory remarks

# EFF leader Julius Malema, through his lawyers, has issued a formal legal demand against DA Federal chairperson Helen Zille, relating to an interview she did with eNCA. In the interview, Zille claimed that Malema dictated decisions in the City of Johannesburg, captured City Power, influenced the fleet tender for his benefit and his front companies, and instructed the appointment of Shadrack Sibiya as the metro’s anti-corruption unit head. Malema says these claims are false and defamatory. He has given Zille until tomorrow to retract her statements and issue a public apology.
