According to News24, Malema and June's legal team appeared before the Gauteng High Court in Johannesburg on 9 June 2026 after Malema filed a lawsuit against Kunene, who claimed that Malema was linked to the Big Five Cartel revealed at the Madlanga Commission of Inquiry.

However, a document which was filed on time on CaseLines, a central online legal document platform, was processed late due to an administrative error. As a result, Malema's team will pay Kunene’s legal costs and the matter will be reinstated pending instructions from Malema.

This is a developing story.
