NPA Eastern Cape spokesperson Luxolo Tyali has emphasised that the warrant for EFF leader Julius Malema was entirely procedural as per court rulings.
East London - The East London Magistrate's Court has issued a warrant of arrest for Economic Freedom Fighters leader Julius Malema for failing to appear in court.
Malema was set to appear on Monday for allegedly discharging a firearm at an Eastern Cape rally in 2018. National Prosecuting Authority Eastern Cape spokesperson Luxolo Tyali said the order was stayed until Malema's next court date - May 8, 2020. “Today was to furnish the defence with the contents of the docket. After this, his attorney will then take further instructions from him and it will be decided by the National Director of Public Prosecutions if a trial will start, however there are other options that could be decided - the ball is in their court.”
Tyali emphasised that the warrant was entirely procedural as per court rulings, and did not mean that police would run after Malema.
