The details of the abuse Karima Brown received from alleged EFF supporters are extremely offensive, and sensitive viewers are advised to continue with discretion. The messages appear after the sixth paragraph.

The Johannesburg High Court has entered the first day of the showdown between veteran journalist Karima Brown and the EFF. The two parties are squaring off after party leader Julius Malema inadvertently shared her contact details online, opening her up to a firestorm of personal abuse and death threats.
