Malema and Snyman returned to the East London Magistrate's Court yesterday, accused of firing a gun in public at the EFF's 2018 anniversary rally. They have both pleaded not guilty.

Malema has told the court the firearm was a toy.

Matthews argued that the state had not proved beyond reasonable doubt that Malema was handed a firearm.
