Malema, Ndlozi assault hearing to continue Thursday─── 14:45 Wed, 06 Apr 2022
The hearing of Julius Malema, leader of the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), and Mbuyiseni Ndlozi (EFF MP), will continue on Thursday in the Randburg Magistrate’s Court for the alleged assault of an SAPS colonel.
This follows after AfriForum in July 2019 announced that the organisation will approach the court with a mandamus application to force the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) to decide whether or not to prosecute Malema in this case as well as two other pending cases against him.
