The party brought an application to postpone the proceedings until January.

EFF leader Julius Malema has also taken exception to the proceeding’s initiator, Advocate Anton Katz, describing him as a DA lawyer.

"It is very clear that, we are being subjected to a kangaroo court, which we are not going to accept and then you brought this white man to prosecute us because you know that every white man will go after the blood of the EFF, that’s what he's there for."   

After the EFF members left, the meeting continued in their absence.
