Kenny Kunene will not apologise to Julius Malema for calling him a cockroach and a frog, despite the Johannesburg High Court ruling in the EFF leader’s favour.
Kunene said his legal team will be appealing the judgement because he will not allow a hypocrite to bully others when he can’t take what he dishes out.
The high court ruled that the Patriotic Alliance (PA) Deputy President issue a public apology to Malema and retract the insulting statement.
But Kunene said he will not do that and will instead take the matter to another court.
“I respect the courts in South Africa, but I have strong grounds to feel the judgement handed down yesterday by Honorable Makume, was wrong in law and will be overturned on appeal.
They will point out that the judgement failed to not only consider the arguments raised by my counsel in the matter, which in their opinion resulted in the incorrect outcome, but the judgement itself is at odds with established case law. I will retain faith the Supreme Court of Appeal will arrive at a different decision.”
Kunene said it was ironic that Malema wants an apology when he sings about “killing the boer.”
“Malema spews violence out of his mouth, over and over. It was shameless of him to take me to court after calling Public Enterprises Minister, Pravin Gordhan a “dog that must be kicked so the master can come out.
He’s a man with a thin skin. He’s emotionally fragile, like a child. He wants to demeans others, but doesn’t want to be demeaned. I, however, will continue to describe him as I see him.
He is an irritant, and should be described in such a way that his irritation is described accurately.”
