A possible 15 years in jail for assault rifle 'shooting' – has Malema EFFed up?
2 August 2018
EFF leader Julius Malema will certainly have to appear in court for allegedly discharging an assault rifle in a public space and may face jail time of a minimum of 15 years, says a leading legal expert specialising in firearms law who spoke to News24 on the condition of anonymity.
"The NPA (National Prosecuting Authority) will have to prosecute Malema because there is a prima facie case."
According to the lawyer, Malema will most likely be arrested, processed and appear in court.
In a video that News24 published on Tuesday, Malema appears to be firing shots from an assault rifle during the EFF's 5th anniversary celebrations at the Sisa Dukashe Stadium in Mdantsane in the Eastern Cape on Saturday.
