Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) Leader Julius Malema accusing Kunene of hate speech and tribalism, and wants him and the Patriotic Alliance (PA) to retract the statements or face being sued for R1m each.
According to the Sunday Times, Malema’s lawyers, Ian Levitt Attorneys, have written to Kunene, calling on him to retract comments they say have caused “significant reputational damage” to their client.
The lawyers said in the November 19 letter: “Your defamatory statements are meant to impugn the integrity and good name of our client by suggesting, alternatively implying, that he is a criminal, he is subhuman, with the further purpose and/or intent of dehumanising to him and he is harmful to others and is vermin.”

Kunene was speaking on eNCA following the announcement of the local government results.
Kunene said he will “deal” with Malema and threatened to expose him. He added that he will reveal the reasons why he left the EFF.
“Once I am done, I will then deal with this little frog. Julius is just an irritating cockroach that I must now deal with publicly,” Kunene said.
“When I meet him, he must tell me that I am a bantiti [convict] to my face. In the meantime, I will be calling the media and addressing all these issues publicly. After we have done what our people have voted for us to do, we just want to conclude our coalitions and set up our governments — and then I will deal with this little cockroach.”
