Straight after the gavel came down in the East London Magistrate's Court, Malema walked out of the court house to join his supporters in a chorus of "Kill the Boer".

Malema and his former bodyguard, Adriaan Snyman, were on trial after video footage showed a rifle being handed to Malema, who then fired shots into the air at the packed Sisa Dukashe Stadium in Mdantsane in 2018. It was the party's fifth birthday rally.
