The EFF leader says the party always maintained the former president was just a 'by-the-way' and that the 'real fight' - against white capital - was still coming.

Economic Freedom Fighters leader Julius Malema told supporters outside the Bloemfontein Magistrate’s Court, where he appeared on Friday morning, that the party’s opposition to former president Jacob Zuma was never the real “fight”. Malema said that due to the alleged control of “white monopoly capital” over SA, “losing cases to the status-quo is expected”.
that the party is altogether believed to owe nearly R1 million after losing various cases. This includes R500,000 for defaming Trevor Manuel, legal costs the party must pay to Karima Brown following her winning her court case against the party in a judgment that found it had contravened the Electoral Code, and more than R200,000 owed to Afrikaner lobby group AfriForum.
