PRETORIA. — Financially embattled EFF leader Julius Malema will make it to Parliament after the elections, his party vowed yesterday.
Several strategies were being implemented, including legal processes, to prevent Malema’s sequestration, Economic Freedom Fighters spokesperson Mpho Ramakatsa said in Pretoria. “The legal work to prevent the sequestration includes lodging an appeal to set aside an admission of a R16m tax bill which Sars (the SA Revenue Service) tricked him (Malema) to sign on the basis that an agreement will be reached.
“The debt owed to Sars by a trust linked to Julius Malema is not R16m, but R4m. Sars ballooned this with 50% interest and 200 percent penalties,” Ramakatsa told a media briefing.
He said “misleading claims” were being spread by Sars and the media saying that Malema would not be able to assume public office after the May general elections. — Sapa.
