Ngizwe Mchunu has asserted that he will not apologize to Julius Malema following a recent ruling from the Gauteng High Court that favored Malema in a defamation case.
The court’s decision mandated Mchunu to provide an apology, but the activist has reportedly reiterated his refusal to do so.
Mchunu’s remarks were captured in a video being shared widely online, in which he firmly rejected the notion of issuing an apology and expressed continued disapproval of Malema.
<p.In the footage, Mchunu seemed to refer to Malema’s political background while dismissing the notion that he should relent.
“He is playing a game he used to play when he was in the ANC,” he commented, following it up with additional critical remarks toward the EFF leader.
The video also featured former radio personality Jacinta Ngobese-Zuma talking with Mchunu, urging him to reconsider his decision.
She proposed that extending an apology might allow him to move forward and redirect attention to other important matters.
“You’re not apologising for Malema. You are doing this so we can move on from this and focus on our mission, not on Malema,” she suggested.
Regardless, Mchunu stood by his decision, resulting in mixed reactions among social media users concerning his defiance and its implications for the court ruling and the ongoing rivalry between the two public figures.
