EconomicFreedom Fighters leader Julius Malema and his party have made a second payment in two months of more than R100.000 to civil rights organisation AfriForum.
The organisation had, since March last year, obtained five cost orders against Malema and the EFF in the North Gauteng High Court estimated at R550.000.
The outstanding three cost orders would only be paid later, as two still had to be taxed and one was subject to an appeal application brought by Malema and the EFF, said Afriforum’s, Kallie Kriel.
He said because of the two payments already received, they would no longer go ahead with an auction of the EFF’s assets, which has already been seized by the sheriff, before the legal processes had been finalised.
“AfriForum will use Malema and the EFF’s payments in our court battle to fight attempts to change the country’s Constitution to allow for land expropriation without compensation,” Kriel said.
The five-cost orders stemmed from the court case AfriForum brought against Malema and the EFF to obtain an interdict to prevent them from inciting people to occupy land illegally.
