EFF leader Julius Malema says he harbours no ill feeling towards East London Regional Court Magistrate Twanet Olivier, despite a failed application for her recusal in his firearm trial.

EFF leader Julius Malema said he harboured no ill feeling towards East London Regional Court Magistrate Twanet Olivier despite a failed application for her recusal.

It's alleged that during those celebrations Malema fired a rifle, ostensibly handed to him by his bodyguard and co-accused, Adriaan Snyman. During cross-examination, Laurance Hodes SC, for Malema, said nowhere in the video was the EFF leader seen handing the firearm to Snyman, but Mzuko said although the video didn't show it, that was what happened.

But Magistrate Olivier said the witness must answer to what was shown and not make his own interpretation.Whenever you don't want to answer the question, you ask for clarification or more details or complain about the way it's asked. It's a simple question. I’m going to repeat it. Please try to answer it this time. I put it to you it could have been a stage or TV gun.
