JOHANNESBURG – The leader of the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), Julius Malema, on Tuesday called black policemen who would testify against him hypocritical.
Malema and party deputy Mbuyiseni Ndlozi appeared before Randburg magistrates on charges of assault.
They allegedly assaulted a police officer during Winnie Madikizela-Mandela’s funeral in 2018. They have denied assaulting anyone.
Malema attacked the black police officers during his speech to his supporters outside of court. He accused them of cowards who were afraid of arresting whites.
Several officers were expected to testify against him.
Malema launched a scratching attack at them.
“They are black on the outside and white on the inside. They are here to defend a white man against their own, ”he said.
Malema and Ndlozi were expected to return to court on October 28 when the trial begins.
