ANC Youth League leader Julius Malema's supporters on Monday entered the courtroom which he was in and shouted at complainants.

This comes after he lost his Equality Court application to have charges of hate speech and harassment against him thrown out but he has succeeded in having a charge of discrimination against him dropped.

The Sonke Gender Justice Group took Malema to court over comments he made about President Jacob Zuma's rape accuser.

The magistrate found the group had prima facie evidence of hate speech and harassment against Malema.

Following her ruling, the court went into recess for 15 minutes while the ANC Youth League leader decided whether to testify or close his case.

During this time a dozen supporters gained access to the courtroom and began shouting abuses at the complainant and his legal team.

One particularly vocal woman screamed there was nothing special about Zuma's rape accuser and threatened that the president's name should not be mentioned in the courtroom.
