  • Defamation Lawyer Says Gareth Cliff’s Claim Is “Stupid”

    Now that Gareth Cliff has hit back at M-Net calling the television broadcaster racist and opportunistic after dropping him as an Idols judge over a silly little tweet, some people aren’t too sure he knows what he is doing.

    Cliff has reportedly sued M-Net for R25 million over defamation of character along with a letter demanding that he be reinstated provisionally as a judge on Idols with the deadline being 2pm yesterday. He will be represented by high-profile advocate Dali Mpofu, who represented the families of the strikers killed at Marikana in 2012. According to the letter of demand, Cliff stated that M-Net was in gross violation of “his personality rights not to be defamed” and his constitutional rights.

    The singling out of [Cliff] as an easy target is, ironically, an exhibition of racism. Cliff is being abused as the proverbial sacrificial lamb.

    But an attorney who specialises in defamation law, David Swart, says that the amount of money that Cliff is claiming is “stupid”.

    That R25-million is an astronomical amount. It’s unrealistic. Our courts don’t award those kinds of amounts. He’ll be lucky to get R500 000.

    And I don’t believe that he will get his job back.
