Johannesburg - ANC Youth League president Julius Malema has lost an application for leave to appeal directly to the Constitutional Court against a hate speech ruling.
In court papers, stamped on Wednesday [November 2], the court ruled it was not in the interests of justice for it to hear the application at this stage.
High Court Judge Colin Lamont found Malema guilty of hate speech in September for singing the song "shoot the boer".
