Durban high court judge Dhaya Pillay had in September 2019 ordered Zuma to remove the tweet and publish an apology within 24 hours. Hanekom said this had caused him “immense harm and damage”, giving the impression that he was an apartheid spy. The tweet by Zuma was in response to EFF leader Julius Malema having revealed that Hanekom had met with the red berets to plot a plan to"oust Zuma" from office.
