JOHANNESBURG – The trial against Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) leader Julius Malema and party MP Mbuyiseni Ndlozi has been postponed to the end of this month.
Malema and Ndlozi appeared before the Randburg Magistrates Court on one charge of assault on a police officer.
The officer was allegedly assaulted during the funeral of African National Congress (ANC) veteran Winnie Madikizela Mandela in 2018.
Malema came to court with his entourage waiting for the trial to begin, but the matter was delayed for several hours because the media wanted to record the process.
The magistrate said earlier Tuesday that he would only consider the media request later and wanted the matter to continue.
But Malema said the media should be allowed to record his case from the beginning and not in part.
“We do not agree with the magistrate’s suggestion that this white man should come and give evidence here today without you and then apply and then when we appear, he will give you permission to come and cover our evidence, but you have not covered the evidence of a white man. “
At this stage, the magistrate is listening to the request from the media individually.
Meanwhile, Malema is expected to address hundreds of his fans who have been playing since this morning.
