Racial tensions have been high in Senekal since the murder of local farm manager Brendin Horner earlier this month.
Sekola Matlaletsa and Sekwetje Mahlamba are due back in the dock in the same court that was the scene of violence last week when local farmers stormed the building and set fire to a police van.
Leader of the EFF Julius Malema and EFF MP Mbuyiseni Ndlozi returned to the Randburg Magistrates Court on 13 October 2020. The two allegedly assaulted a police colonel at the funeral of struggle icon Winnie Madikizela Mandela.
Last week, Malema tweeted the words “Magwala a chechele morago!” Which translates to cowards move to the back, fighters attack.
The party believes social media posts sent out by Julius Malema and Nazier Paulsen show an intent to incite violence.
The party said an inquiry by parliament’s powers and privileges committee was baseless because they broke no rules when they raised points of order objecting to apartheid President FW de Klerk’s presence at the February Sona.
EFF MPs were referred to the committee for disrupting the National Assembly when its members objected to former President FW de Klerk’s presence at SONA earlier this year.
Arguments being heard in the matter before the court have illustrated that, albeit the provincial government made several attempts to remedy the situation in the deadlocked metro, these came to nil.
Haji Mohamed Dawjee believes the EFF’s way of responding to the important issue of a racist advert points out a glaring counterproductivity
The decision was taken following a meeting with Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) leader Julius Malema, Unilever, and Clicks folowing nationwide outrage of a racist ad for the product on the Clicks website.
Hejana was manhandled by EFF members outside a Clicks store in Cape Town while on duty on Tuesday.
This comes after the High Court in Johannesburg granted Clicks an interim interdict to stop the EFF from intimidating customers or staff, as well as inciting violence.
The racist advert was met with public outrage, protests by the Economic Freedom Fighters and calls to boycott and ban Clicks stores and TRESemmé products.
The red berets attacked Clicks stores nationwide as per Julius Malema's instructions after the retailer published and advert last week which insulted black hair.
EFF party leaders have mobilised members to try shut down over 800 stores after outrage over an advert which depicted black hair as dry, damaged and frizzy, while hair of a white woman was described as normal.
Eldorado Park resident, 16-year-old Nathaniel Julius, was killed allegedly by police this week.
The South Africa Human Rights Commission, the Legal Resource Centre and the Economic Freedom Fighters have taken legal action to stop all evictions and shack demolitions without court oversight for the duration of the national state of disaster.
The Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) asked for the debate after the death in the United States of George Floyd triggered global protests.
