DA wins SMS court battle
·4 Apr 2014
An SMS the DA sent to over 1.5 million prospective Gauteng voters accusing President Jacob Zuma of stealing public money was fair comment, the High Court in Johannesburg ruled on Friday.
Acting Judge Mike Hellens, who had heard arguments on Wednesday from both the African National Congress and the Democratic Alliance, said the ANC’s application was dismissed with costs.
The ruling party wanted the DA to retract the SMS, stop sending it and apologise, or be fined up to R200,000.
