Guptas want to seize R180 000 from EFF after winning court case against Malema
A writ of execution granted to the Guptas and several of their companies by the High Court in Pretoria instructed the sheriff's office in Johannesburg to seize moveable goods at the EFF's headquarters
The Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) expressed surprise that the bill of costs and a writ of execution concerning its dispute with the Gupta family found its way first into the media‚ and the party had to verify whether the claims were legitimate. The EFF was reacting to a report on News24 stating that the Guptas had obtained a warrant to seize property‚ worth about R180 000‚ at the EFF's head office in Johannesburg in order for it to be auctioned off. A writ of execution granted to the Guptas and several of their companies by the High Court in Pretoria instructed the sheriff's office in Johannesburg to seize moveable goods at the EFF's headquarters in Braamfontein in order to cover the Guptas' legal costs relating to an earlier court battle with EFF leader Julius Malema and his party.
