COURT TO DELIVER JUDGMENT IN MALEMA FIREARM CASE TODAY. (PHOTO).


 Court to deliver judgment in Malema firearm case today


The East London Magistrate’s Court is expected to deliver judgment today in the case against EFF leader Julius Malema and his former bodyguard, Adriaan Snyman.


The two face charges of unlawful possession of a firearm and ammunition, discharging a firearm in a built-up area, and reckless endangerment. The charges stem from the EFF’s fifth-anniversary celebrations at Sisa Dukashe Stadium in Mdantsane on 28 July 2018.


Both Malema and Snyman have pleaded not guilty, claiming that the object discharged was a toy gun and not capable of firing live rounds. The state, however, maintains it was a real firearm, relying on evidence from 19 witnesses, including ballistics experts.


The case, which began in 2019, has experienced several delays, including one last year when the presiding magistrate fell ill.
