South Africa: Defiant Rawula resigns, calls on EFF to produce financial audits By News24
His resignation comes after he refused to retract his comments in which he accused party leader Julius Malema and his deputy, Floyd Shivambu, of financial mismanagement and of accepting a donation from VBS Mutual Bank.“Let the history judge me, both in terms subjective and objective realities, If I have betrayed the revolution I will take any punishment that comes by my way .
In a separate letter ahead of his resignation, Rawula, who was the head of the party’s disciplinary commission until recently, told Malema’s lawyers that the party would first need to produce its financial audits before he retracts his statement. Rawula is also demanding that the EFF disclose all the organisational bank and credit card audited statements for the past four years, with all the corresponding invoices and slips.
“We are further instructed that your making these defamatory statements is done deliberately to exact political revenge on our client and the EFF…”Malema’s attorneys demanded that Rawula retract his statement in a form of a public statement, shared via social media. In a social media post on Facebook, Rawula accused Malema and Shivambu of abuse and running a dictatorship.
