Reddy became famous after he was captured on a video threatening that there would be riots “like you have never seen” if former President Jacob Zuma’s name was not on the ballot paper. “I will be defending this charge in court through my legal team, where I believe the truth will be told. I am concerned that state resources seem to be used to eliminate political opponents,” said Reddy.
