Julius Malema Firearm Discharge Case

Doesn't matter. Blanks contain primers. A primed case is considered ammunition in accordance with the FCA. They must prosecute.
 
I dare some one here to go fire a weapon in public and see if you get this sort of treatment or would you be flung in jail the same day and wont see the outside until you get a hearing in the next two months and then go to jail for breaking the law?

Lifestyles and privileges of the ANC/EFF political elite. A corrupt circus.

Malema’s firearm discharge trial to start in East London Magistrate’s Court on Tuesday

EFF leader Julius Malema’s firearm discharge trial is expected to start in the East London Magistrate’s Court on Tuesday after the trial was postponed on Monday to afford the new prosecutor time to prepare.

The court heard that prosecutor, advocate Elna Smit, who handled the case since 2018, resigned suddenly.

State advocate Joel Cesar, who has taken over, asked for postponement, saying he needed time to go through the statements and consult with witnesses.

Malema’s lawyer, advocate Laurence Hodes opposed the application for postponement, saying the court was dealing with the incident that took place in July 2018.

There is no justice and the cadres are free to break any law they wish without consequences.

It will delayed for many more times, and its fscking annoying... its about as open and shut a case as you can get, and its still taken 3 years to get nowhere.

I sometimes think we are more surprised that we are surprised that these things happen and we expect a different outcome

CIC tells me that he has finally recognized that "you" all are super human intelligent human beings like newton and einstein.

How is work on string theory going on? Anything to share?

It doesn't really surprise me anymore, its just fscking annoying.

In a normal functioning legal system, this case would have taken maximum 6 months... but in our world, we haven't even progressed beyond gate 1 in 3 years.

I was not aware that Malema could fire state prosecutors.

Malema sits on the JSC, which means that if any state prosecutor wants to become a judge they would have to get his approval.

I don't really buy the first reason for postponement tbh. Covid 19 isn't an excuse anymore.

That could be quite a career limiting move for Elna.
