JOHANNESBURG - EFF leader Julius Malema has threatened to sue DA Johannesburg mayoral candidate Helen Zille over remarks she made about him in an eNCA interview on Sunday.
Malema's lawyer has issued Zille with a formal demand, accusing her of making false and defamatory claims.

These include allegations that Malema dictated decisions in the City of Johannesburg, captured City Power, and influenced a fleet tender to benefit himself and companies allegedly linked to him.
The EFF is demanding that Zille retract the claims, issue a public apology, publish a formal statement, and undertake in writing not to repeat them.
Zille has until close of business on Wednesday to comply or face legal action.
