The company, whose headquarters are in Vereeniging, south of Johannesburg, filed its combined summons in the Johannesburg High Court on April 8, requesting that the EFF pay reputational damages for what it deemed “racist and harmful statements propelled by the red berets on Facebook on January 18 2021”.
City Press previously reported that the company had been granted an interdict from the same court in June, which prohibited the EFF from facilitating labour-related disputes between Afri-Services and its employees, particularly those working at the Toyota dealership in Barloworld in Witbank, Mpumalanga.
