Show Notes
Durban businessman Calvin Mojalefa Mathibelis appeal to challenge a court order demanding he retract accusations against KwaZulu-Natal Police Commissioner Lieutenant General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi was denied by the Durban High Court. Judge Sanele Hlatshwayo ruled there was no chance a higher court would intervene. Mathibeli had argued the retraction demand was too hasty, but the judge clarified that retraction does not equate to an apology. Mkhwanazis team, led by Muzi Sikhakhane, argued the appeal was a stall tactic and that retraction is not an admission of guilt. The judges decision upholds the original order and emphasizes the importance of preventing baseless attacks on public figures while respecting their rights.
