Pretoria – Julius Malema, the chief of the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), has filed an urgent request for contempt of court with the Gauteng High Court in Pretoria, targeting Ngizwe Mchunu, the leader of the anti-immigrant organization Amabhinca Nation.
This request seeks the court to rule Mchunu in contempt and to impose a sentence of 6 months in prison without the option of a fine.
As stated in the court documents, Malema alleges that Mchunu has intentionally and unlawfully continued to make defamatory statements about him, violating a court order issued on June 5, 2026, and has willfully disregarded that order.
