‘Untouchable’ Malema and Moyane in Adv Nel’s sight
24 October 2019
Adv Gerrie Nel, Head of AfriForum’s Private Prosecution Unit, announced today at a media conference that his unit served a mandamus application on the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) and the Minister of Justice to compel the NPA through the court to take a decision on the prosecution of the EFF leader, Julius Malema, for alleged corruption, money laundering and racketeering related to the On-Point scandal. This follows the NPA’s delay of more than a year to fulfil its promise to AfriForum to take a decision on prosecuting Malema.
Nel also announced that AfriForum successfully pressured the NPA into prosecuting Malema on two other charges of respectively assault and firing a firearm in a built-up area in the presence of 16 000 people. Malema will appear in the Randburg Magistrate’s Court on 20 November 2019 on charges of assaulting a senior police officer. He will also appear in the Mdantsane Magistrate’s Court in the Eastern Cape on charges of the negligent firing of a firearm and the illegal possession of a firearm and ammunition.
Adv Nel also announced that his unit obtained a nolle prosequi certificate to privately prosecute Tom Moyane, former Commissioner of SARS.
