High Court gives Juju permission to appeal firearm conviction

Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) leader Julius Malema has been granted leave to appeal his firearm conviction by the High Court, marking a significant development in his ongoing legal battle.

The court’s decision allows Malema to challenge both his conviction and the five-year effective prison sentence that was previously handed down following his 2018 rally firearm case.

Economic Freedom Fighters leader Julius Malema wins leave to appeal his firearm conviction, saving his seat in Parliament.

This ruling provides a glimmer of hope for the EFF leader, who has been fighting to avoid imprisonment since his sentencing earlier this year.
