FIREARMS CONTROL ACT

- BRANDON NEL

EFF leader Julius Malema spent the whole of yesterday in the dock as the East London Magistrate’s Court went through years of evidence in his firearm discharge case.

But with time running out, magistrate Twanet Olivier - battling through proceedings with a hoarse, flu-stricken voice — postponed the final verdict to today.

Malema and his former bodyguard, Adriaan Snyman, were accused of breaking the Firearms Control Act by unlawfully possessing firearms and ammunition.

The charges stem from the EFF’s fifth birthday rally at the Sisa Dukashe Stadium in Mdantsane in 2018.

Video footage presented to court showed Snyman handing a rifle to Malema, who then allegedly fired shots into the air before a packed crowd.
