JOHANNESBURG, 10 July 2018: Harith General Partners appeared in the Pretoria High Court before Judge Tlhapi for an urgent interdict application against the UDM President, General Bantu Holomisa, and the UDM to stop them from making any further false, misleading or spurious statements about Harith.
Harith has publicly stated that it would take all necessary steps, including legal action, to stop the UDM and General Holomisa from continuing with any further negative and unfounded public remarks about Harith.
The application will be heard on Friday, 13 July 2018. General Holomisa and the UDM failed to provide their answering affidavit to the application last week and only served it on Harith and its co-applicants at court. Harith and its co-applicants are entitled to reply and therefore require an opportunity to reply to the answering affidavit before the matter is heard on Friday. Haith is confident in regard to the prospects of success of the application. We will endeavour to keep you updated with regard to this matter.
