Tribunal Superior de Pretória emite mandado de prisão para Ngizwe Mchunu

O Tribunal Superior de Pretória emitiu um mandado de prisão para o ativista cultural Ngizwe Mchunu após considerá-lo culpado de desacato ao tribunal. Ele enfrentará dez dias de prisão.

O Tribunal Superior de Pretória ordenou a prisão e detenção de Mchunu após um processo cível de difamação movido pelo líder do Economic Freedom Fighters, Julius Malema. O caso decorre de comentários feitos por Mchunu em frente aos Union Buildings em abril, nos quais acusava Malema de proteger estrangeiros sem documentos e de receber R 60 milhões de cartéis de drogas nigerianos. O tribunal decidiu a favor de Malema e ordenou que Mchunu emitisse um pedido de desculpas público. Também constatou que Mchunu violou ordens judiciais anteriores relacionadas às declarações difamatórias. O Economic Freedom Fighters confirmou a decisão nas redes sociais, afirmando que o Tribunal Superior de Gauteng havia emitido o mandado de prisão.
