Police raid Malema bodyguard's office─── 09:39 Mon, 20 Aug 2018
Police confirmed on Sunday that they have raided the property of EFF leader Julius Malema's bodyguard, Adriaan Snyman.
The raid in Durban came after Snyman was caught on camera handing over what was believed to be a rifle to Malema.
The incident happened at the EFF’s fifth birthday celebration in East London last month.
Malema is seen in the video firing shots into the air.
News24 reported that after the incident on 1 August, Malema hands the fire-arm over to a man, who appears to be Bluff security company owner, Snyman, who then quickly ducks out of the camera's shot. Malema then gives a high-five to EFF chairperson, advocate Dali Mpofu.
When asked if he was present and took the rifle from Malema, Snyman told News24 that he was not aware of anything. "Phone me back in the morning," he said. On Wednesday morning, Snyman told News24 that he was not aware of the video and asked to be called back later.
Snyman has previously been identified as one of Malema's bodyguards.
Cameron says they have also added the EFF Chief of Security, who handed Malema the gun, to their charge sheet.
