EFF brushes off Malema’s NPA charges, hits out at AfriForum for ‘weaponising’ justice system

The charge of crimen injuria brought against EFF leader Julius Malema does not “faze” the party, it said on Wednesday, as it hit back at AfriForum for what it described as the “weaponisation” of the justice system.

The EFF remains unfazed by these latest attempts to use the courts as a political tool to silence our leadership. We view this as a desperate move by AfriForum to weaponise the justice system against those who challenge the status quo.

The party further stated that it would continue to defend its leader against what it termed “frivolous and politically motivated” litigation, asserting that the legal system was being manipulated to distract from the EFF’s political agenda.
