The Johannesburg Equality Court on Monday found African National Congress Youth League (ANCYL) president Julius Malema guilty of hate speech and harassment.

" Mr Malema, being a man of vast political influence, be wary of turning into a man that often speaks but never talks "

"This court is satisfied that the utterances by the respondent... amounted to hate speech," said magistrate Colleen Collis.

"The uttered words constitute harassment as contemplated in the Equality Act."

Collis ordered Malema to make an unconditional public apology within two weeks and pay an amount of R50 000 to a centre for abused women within one month.

Collis concluded her judgment with a word of wisdom to Malema.

"Mr Malema, being a man of vast political influence, be wary of turning into a man that often speaks but never talks."
