The East London Magistrate’s Court in the Eastern Cape delivers judgment in the case against Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) leader Julius Malema and his former bodyguard Adriaan Snyman.

Malema is facing charges of discharging a firearm in public during the EFF’s 5th anniversary celebrations at Sisa Dukashe Stadium in Mdantsane in 2018.

On the other hand, Snyman is accused of unlawful possession of a firearm and ammunition.

Malema and Snyman applied for the charges against them to be dropped, citing a lack of evidence, but the application was dismissed.

Malema maintained that the case is a political ploy to tarnish his image.
