Julius Malema Firearm Discharge Case

General Council of the Bar lashes at Malema after he criticised judges

The General Council of the Bar (GCB) has criticised EFF leader Julius Malema for launching personal attacks on judges.

It said it was unfortunate that Malema's inappropriate criticisms, which were not directed at the correctness of the judgments but at the perceived personal characteristics of the judges who delivered them, sought to instil fear in the judiciary by making unfounded allegations of favour and prejudice.

The GCB, an association of 14 societies of advocates across the country, said in a statement on Friday that attacks of such nature undermined the independence of the judiciary.

In a speech made at a Women's Day event in the Northern Cape on August 9, Malema remarked that "education must be free of charge so a girl child can be educated and become a confident judge tomorrow so we get rid incompetent judges who are threatened by politicians that appear before them".

The NPA have made a 'decision', but this still has to be personally conveyed to the two accused, before it can be officially announced: https://www.news24.com/SouthAfrica/...s-decision-on-malema-firearm-charges-20190905

No need to see.... you definitely wouldn't be "consulted" about the NPA decision before they did anything....

 

[Tman*]

Yeah, let's see how "equal" we all are under the law.

Im waiting for the: "due to lack of evidence we have decided not to prosecute....bla bla....but this doesn't mean we wont open the case again in the future when new evidence comes to light"

Malema's attorney, Ian Levitt, declined to comment, while messages and phone calls to Malema and Ndlozi went unanswered.

Race peddling affirmative action for thee, but not for me.

Malema slams 'mischievous' Hawks over assault charges

Pretoria - Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) leader Julius Malema has appeared before the Hawks at their Silverton offices in Pretoria this afternoon and described the charges that the unit want to bring against him as a mockery of the justice system.

The EFF leader had been summoned to the unit’s headquarters to give a statement on an incident that occurred at an EFF rally in the Eastern Cape where he is alleged to have discharged a firearm, with the Hawks indicating that they would be instituting five charges against him for the incident.

Malema, speaking to reporters, said that the Hawks had asked him and his legal team to respond to the charges, a request that they refused to give into stating that “if they want to charge, they must charge and we will speak in court” because they felt that the Hawks were mischievous.

Malema also claimed that Afrikaner rights group AfriForum were behind the charges relating to an assault incident involving a policeman that happened at the funeral of Winnie Madikizela Mandela last year and that the Hawks were afraid to put AfriForum in their place.

“It helps their political agenda (AfriForum) to always bring us to the fore and divert us from the main issues in this country. Let’s deal with the real issues and leave this nonsensical things which are a waste of time for everyone.
“The policeman that they’re talking about is a policeman that tried to stop me from entering the graveside when we were burying Mama Winnie and blocked me. When I came out of the car I said to him ‘chief what are you doing now?’ with the hope that the guy would recognise me but he said ‘no, you're not going to enter here’. A white, big, Afrikaner male, stopping me from burying Winnie Mandela?

Except you weren't going to bury her, just to attend her funeral.
