Malema violated public trust by asking a judge about his ruling against the EFF – Mapisa-Nqakula

National Assembly Speaker Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula said EFF leader Julius Malema violated public trust when he used Judicial Service Commission interviews"to advance the self-interest of the EFF" – by asking a judge about his ruling against the party.

In papers filed at the Western Cape High Court, Mapisa-Nqakula defended Parliament's right to hold Malema accountable – as a Member of Parliament – for his unethical questioning of then-Gauteng High Court Judge Elias Matojane during JSC interviews held in 2021. Matojane, who Malema questioned about a ruling he'd given against the EFF two years earlier, was vying for possible appointment to the Supreme Court of Appeal at the time.South Africans need to be in the know if we want to create a prosperous future.
