According to the reports, ANCYL embattled former leader, Julius Malema and his suspended spokesperson were found guilty of defamatory of character against Western Cape premier, Helen Zille.

 According to her spokesperson, Zak Mbele the two along with ANCYL were ordered to retract their statements made against DA leader, Helen Zille and pay her legal fees.

The Youth League leaders allegedly called Zille a racist and passed other remarks back in 2009.

She said Shivambu had called her a “racist girl” and “sick woman” and claimed that her all-male executive were her boyfriends and concubines.

She also took issue with Malema calling her executive council a “group of racist Helen Zille garden boys” at a rally in Cato Manor, Durban, in February 2009.

Helen Zille was so happy and applause the justice system saying she has trust on the judicial.

“There is no room for unfounded defamatory statements in our society and this ruling upholds that in clear and strong terms. Politics must be about issues, not gratuitous and baseless insults.” she told The Times.

At the same rally, he apparently referred to her as a “racist”, “colonialist” and “imperialist”. And Zille initially wanted to sue Shivambu and Malema R1.4 million.

Attorney Amanda Torr said the order was handed down by Western Cape High Court Judge Lee Bozalek in a closed chamber session.
