EFF leader Julius Malema’s defence team lost its bid to prevent video evidence from being admitted to court.
01 February 2023 - 20:03EFF leader Julius Malema appeared in the East London magistrate's court on Monday for his firearm discharge trial.The EFF has said it supports the application by leader Julius Malema for magistrate Twannet Olivier to recuse herself in his firearm discharge matter.
Malema appeared before the East London Magistrate’s Court on Wednesday, where he faces a charge of contravening the Firearms Control Act for firing a rifle in public during the EFF’s 5th anniversary rally at the Sisa Dukashe Stadium in Mdantsane in 2018. Malema’s legal team indicated on Wednesday it would apply for Olivier to recuse herself, alleging she committed gross violation of Malema’s rights.followed an outburst by Malema from the dock, claiming Olivier was prosecuting him after she asked one of the state witnesses questions to clarify his testimony.
In a statement on Wednesday, EFF spokesperson Sinawo Tambo said Olivier was biased and overstepped her role.“Olivier insisted on a state witness making certain observations and conclusions on video evidence when the witness had already made testimony. “The insistence of Olivier that the witness make observations that were contrary to the initial testimony, reveals a deeper and sinister interest on her part on the outcomes of the matter,” Tambo said.
