The warrant of arrest issued against Economic Freedom Fighters leader Julius Malema at the East London Magistrates’ Court on Monday was “standard practice”, says the prosecuting authority.
Malema, who failed to appear in court this morning, was issued with the arrest warrant, which would not be effected just yet.
“Even if arrangements are made for an accused not to appear in court a warrant of arrest is issued and then it is stayed, which means it is not effected up until the next date. If in the next date the court is satisfied that the accused has a good reason or that it was justified why they cannot be in court then the warrant will be cancelled.
