  • It’s Hard For Julius Malema To Deny Assault Charges After Video From Winnie’s Funeral Goes Public

    • Malema's Former Housekeeper Says She Saw Some Pretty Wild Things

    You already know how this is going to go.

    Julius Malema has been a crook for years, and yet the EFF support base has continued to swell, and Malema’s ego swells along with it.

    So naturally, his court appearance for allegedly shoving a security guard at Winnie Madikizela-Mandela’s funeral last year has turned into an exercise in self-aggrandisement.

    The story so far is as follows.

    Malema and EFF national spokesperson Mbuyiseni Ndlozi were involved in a scuffle which they said happened because the security guard in question was preventing them from entering the premises of the funeral.

    The Citizen reports that the two appeared in court this week on charges of common assault in relation to the incident.

    It’s important to be specific about which case is playing out when it comes to the EFF. They smack people often. 

    Video footage of the scuffle was recently released. Malema claims that much like the time he didn’t shoot that gun (he shot that gun), he didn’t actually ‘lay hands’ on the police officer accusing him of assault.

    “If I had laid a hand on him, I would have panelbeated him. It would have been worse than what you saw. I don’t play when I lay hands.”

    The video tells a different story:

    It looks a lot like the security guard was trying to clear a path for the funeral cars. That’s ironic because Malema is spinning this narrative now, according to IOL.

    “No gun, no death, nothing was going to stop us from burying Winnie Mandela,” Malema said outside court on Wednesday after the brief appearance.

    Malema said he was happy to be dragged to court and if it meant being arrested for burying a revolutionary, then so be it.

    If Malema was blocking the road, then he was literally the only thing preventing them from burying Winnie.

    I’d also like to point out that the funeral would have gone ahead regardless of whether or not he was present.

    If you’re trying to figure out the connection between AfriForum and Winnie’s funeral, don’t bother. There isn’t one.

    They’re involved because they’re always involved when the EFF is at the centre of something. I’ll give them this, though – they get results:

    The officer laid a case against the politicians at the Douglasdale police station, but it had allegedly received no police attention until AfriForum’s private prosecution unit inquired about it.

    “From AfriForum’s side, we welcome the fact that Malema and Ndlozi appeared at court today. We believe in equality before the law. We are thankful that it is in the interest of everybody that one should be prosecuted irrespective of being a political figure,” said Kallie Kriel, chief executive of AfriForum.

    Malema will shout about this for a while before moving on to the next thing.

    A lot can happen before the case, which has been postponed, resumes on March 10, 2020,
