CoA dismisses Malema�s appeal

Malema and his son had approached the High Court on urgent basis seeking an interdict against Ezekiel Joel, Dimakatso Patane and Onkemetse Seromula who were recently installed by the Minister of Local Government and Rural Development Slumber Tsogwane as the traditional leadership following Malema’s retirement.

But Justice Leatile Dambe of Gaborone High Court dismissed the case as the applicants failed to show that they had locus standi, provide sufficient grounds on why the matter is urgent, and to show that the ouster clause of the Bogosi Act does not apply. Following their dismissal, the Malemas approached the CoA seeking an expedited appeal of Dambe’s judgement.
