La Haute Cour de Pretoria émet un mandat d'arrêt contre Ngizwe Mchunu

La Haute Cour de Pretoria a émis un mandat d'arrêt à l'encontre de l'activiste culturel Ngizwe Mchunu après l'avoir reconnu coupable d'outrage au tribunal. Il encourt dix jours de prison.

La Haute Cour de Pretoria a ordonné l'arrestation et la détention de Mchunu à la suite d'une affaire civile en diffamation intentée par Julius Malema, chef des Economic Freedom Fighters. L'affaire découle de remarques tenues par Mchunu devant les Union Buildings en avril, accusant Malema de protéger des ressortissants étrangers sans papiers et d'avoir reçu 60 millions de rands de cartels de la drogue nigérians. Le tribunal a statué en faveur de Malema et a ordonné à Mchunu de présenter des excuses publiques. Il a également conclu que Mchunu avait violé des ordonnances judiciaires précédentes liées aux déclarations diffamatoires. Les Economic Freedom Fighters ont confirmé la décision sur les réseaux sociaux, précisant que la Haute Cour du Gauteng avait émis le mandat d'arrêt.
