The trial dates for EFF leader, Julius Malema and the party’s MP, Mbuyiseni Ndlozi have been set down for 13th and 28th October.
The two men had allegedly missed previous court proceedings due to the coronavirus pandemic and its regulations. Vorster said during Monday’s proceedings the original charge sheet could not be found and the court could not execute warrants for their arrests.“AfriForum welcomes the setting of a court date because we have thought from the start there is a prima facie case against Malema and Ndlozi.
“The National Prosecuting Authority reconsidered its initial refusal to prosecute after continued pressure from AfriForum, and has since instituted prosecution. Now the legal process must run its course. However, we will continue to support the police colonel,” said Vorster. The lobby group pursued action against the two after it alleged the NPA had dragged its feet on the case.
“The senior police officer opened a case with the police but it never received attention until AfriForum’s private prosecution unit started inquiring about the investigation in January 2019,” the group said.“I've never done that. If I laid a hand on him, I would have panel-beaten him. I don't play when I lay a hand. I didn't do that. Mbuyiseni didn't do that.
