Sonke Gender Justice takes Julius Malema to the Equality Court

While addressing 150 Cape Peninsula University of Technology students Julius Malema, ANC Youth League president, suggested that the woman who accused ANC president Jacob Zuma of rape had a "nice time" with him and said, "when a woman didn't enjoy it, she leaves early in the morning. Those who had a nice time will wait until the sun comes out, request breakfast and ask for taxi money."

Sonke Gender Justice believes that Malema's statements reinforce rape myths and that they constitute hate speech, unfair discrimination and harrassment. The organisation has taken Malema to the Equality Court.

As of Feb 2010, the judgement in this matter had not yet been handed down.
