EFF welcomes the judgment by the Randburg Magistrates Court which found Julius Malema and Mbuyiseni Ndlozi not guilty of assault
29 September 2022
The Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) welcomes the sensible and correct judgement passed by the Randburg Magistrates Court, which found the Commander in Chief and President of the EFF Julius Malema, as well as Commissar Dr. Mbuyiseni Ndlozi not guilty of assault, at the funeral of Mama Winnie Mandela.
In 2018, after the nation lost a mother, a hero and struggle stalwart by the name of Winnie Madikizela-Mandela, the Commander in Chief attended her funeral, to pay his last respects to a mother and liberation hero who inspired him since his days as a youth activist.
Sadly, a racist by the name of Johannes Venter arrogantly and violently attempted to stop the CIC Julius Malema and Commissar Dr. Mbuyiseni Ndlozi, from burying their mother, by restricting their freedom of movement into her final resting place baselessly. The restriction was baseless because, the vehicle used by the President of the EFF and Commissar Dr. Ndlozi had the necessary permit to access the burial site.
The Randburg Magistrates Court rightfully determined that the pushing of Venter by the President of the EFF and Dr. Mbuyiseni Ndlozi was justified, and the State failed to make a case of assault beyond reasonable doubt, due to numerous discrepancies and contradictions in the version of evidence by the state witnesses.
