Settlement unlikely in Julius Malema's case

A settlement in the hate speech case against Julius Malema in the Equality Court in Johannesburg seems unlikely.

The possibility was mentioned during the ANC Youth League leader’s cross-examination today.

But Malema says any settlement talks will have to take place without any pre-conditions - something Afrikaner pressure group AfriForum, that initiated the case, is unlikely to agree to.

Earlier, Malema repeated a claim that so-called “dark forces” tell judges what to do. He refused to name the culprits.

Malema also said if people believed his land redistribution policy was controversial, it meant that the Freedom Charter was also controversial.
