ANC MP Boy Mamabolo and EFF leader Julius Malema continue to be a hot topic on Twitter as the public weighs in on two pending lawsuits from Julius and Mantoa Malema.
The legal action relates to allegations made in parliament on Tuesday by Mamabolo in which he accused the EFF leader of physically abusing his wife.
Malema, while speaking during the debate on President Cyril Ramaphosa's Sona address, did not immediately respond to the question, and proceeded to read his speech. He later denied the claims.

The letter from the Malemas' lawyer denies any form of abuse and accuses Mamabolo of making a mockery of gender-based violence victims. The ANC MP was given until Wednesday to apologise and retract his statement or settle the initial R1m lawsuit.
Mamabolo insisted on meeting the Malemas in court as he has “facts” and “evidence,” to support his claims, he tweeted on Wednesday.
The legal notice was shared by the EFF on Twitter, on Wednesday.

Scores have taken to the platform to express their views on the matter.
Your Boy Mamabolo thinks he’s used because of what he said in Parliament. Someone should wake up this Boy & tell him that he’s wrong & remind him that Privileges of parliament doesn't extend to the outside world. #BoyMamabolo

I love how the Malema's are tackling Mamabolo. Each in their own individual capacity, yet as a team.

Mrs Malema is showing her own agency to tackle her attackers by herself not as "the woman who is married to Malema" in issuing him with her separate lawyer's letter
Julius and Mantwa Malema suing Boy Mamabolo separately, each for R1 million. Yhuuuuuuuu!!! 🙊

Boy Mamabolo has been put in his rightful place as a back bencher. #BoyMamabolo

At least Ms Malema is able to fight back. It’s a burden she shouldn’t have to deal with, but here we are. While Nomazizi Matshotshisa is unable to excercise such agency. She can’t speak for herself because she is dead. Think about that. Women’s bodies are not your battlefields!

It is very disturbing for a person to tell others how must they deal with their matter. It is malema's choice how to deal with people like boy mamabolo. He was arrogant and personal so he must dance to the music he was playing
