UMkhonto weSizwe (MK) Party member of Parliament Mzwanele Manyi says it would be difficult to attach party leader Jacob Zuma’s Nkandla homestead over unpaid legal fees.
Earlier this week Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) leader Julius Malema said he had instructed his party’s lawyer to attach Zuma’s homestead.
WILL EFF FAIL IN BID TO ATTACH ZUMA’S NKANDLA HOMESTEAD OVER UNPAID LEGAL FEES?
Addressing EFF supporters outside the Constitutional Court in Johannesburg on Tuesday, 26 November, Malema said they are not going to play nice with people who play rough with them.
On Monday, he had referred to Zuma’s MK Party as its number one enemy as prominent party leaders have ditched the EFF to join the Zuma-led party.
“All the cases we won against Jacob Zuma, he never paid the legal fees. Zuma is owing us legal fees, we’ve got an order that he must pay us our money because we defeated him in court. Now, he has not complied with the order to pay our money.
“We have just instructed our lawyers to go and attach Nkandla so that the man [Zuma] pays back our money. We want our money that Zuma owes us from here at the Constitutional Court, the High Court in Pretoria and everywhere else where we have been winning against Zuma they said he must pay us legal fees but he never did,” Malema said.
During the MK Party’s first anniversary celebrations in Ekurhuleni on Saturday, Manyi told TIMESLive that Zuma would not lose his house in the legal battle.
Many said they love the EFF, they have no war with the Red Berets, and they also understand that they are hurting as several prominent EFF members have ditched the party to join the MK Party.
“We sympathise with the pain and are not angry at them. But at a factual level, his excellency president Zuma lives on Ingonyama Trust land, so it is unattachable because it’s not like it’s private property,” he told the publication.
