Veteran journalist Karima Brown confronted EFF leader Julius Malema in court on Monday over the release of her personal details.
Brown is asking the South Gauteng High Court to rule the EFF contravened the electoral code by publicising her phone number in a tweet and referring to her as a “mole” for the ANC.
Brown wants Malema to pay a fine of R100,000.

The journalist subsequently received threatening messages from party supporters.
Geoff Budlender, the lawyer representing Brown, made the argument that Malema is not allowed to call a journalist a spy.
Budlender said Malema has a duty to call these supporters to order.
“The repetition and aggravation of the claims, from mole to state security agent cast doubt on his claim that he didn’t do this intentionally,” he said in court on Monday.
