The Economic Freedom Fighters has criticised the Supreme Court of Appeals for its latest ruling on land grabs.
EFF leader, Julius Malema asked the court for leave to
appeal an earlier high court ruling that interdicted him from instigating land
grabs.
The AfriForum launched the court action in 2017 after
Malema encouraged his supporters to occupy land.
AfriForum stated that it was pleased as this ruling meant
Malema and the red berets had exhausted all legal avenues to fight the battle.
“In January 2023, Malema and the EFF applied for leave to
appeal in this case with the high court in Pretoria the application was
dismissed. They then took the matter to the Constitutional Court, which
dismissed their application in March 2023. Even after the highest court in
South Africa, the Constitutional Court dismissed their application for leave to
appeal, they approached the Supreme Court of Appeal. Today’s definitive verdict
by that court leaves Malema and the EFF with no further options for appeal,”
AfriForum said.
EFF’s spokesperson, Leigh-Anne Mathys, says the ruling by
the Supreme Court of Appeals will lead to violence.
