The National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) today informed AfriForum that they are going to prosecute Julius Malema, Leader of the EFF, and Mbuyiseni Ndlozi, EFF Spokesperson, for the alleged assault of a colonel in the SAPS.<\/p>\n
This follows AfriForum\u2019s announcement in July this year that they would approach the court with a mandamus application to force the NPA to make decisions regarding the prosecution of Malema concerning this and two other pending cases against him.<\/p>\n
Malema and Ndlozi in April\u00a02018 allegedly assaulted a senior policeman in uniform in an incident that was caught on closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras. The senior policeman opened a case at the police, but it received no police attention until AfriForum\u2019s Private Prosecution Unit enquired about the investigation in January\u00a02019.<\/p>\n
\u201cAlthough we welcome the NPA\u2019s decision to prosecute, it is regrettable that AfriForum had to put so much pressure on them simply to fulfil their constitutional duty. We will carefully monitor the case to ensure that the complainant gets justice,\u201d says Adv. Gerrie Nel, Head of AfriForum\u2019s Private Prosecution Unit.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
