"Firstly, there is nothing in this SMS which suggests the withdrawal of any soldier let alone the army. Secondly, anyone could have sent this SMS, how sure are you that it's a soldier and not a primary school kid with a phone and some airtime?"

@nhlalisuthi0206 asked:

"What's your intention in spreading this message? Sowing division, confusion, chaos etc because you enjoy seeing division and disorder in our country?"

Julius Malema wants the NPA to prosecute President Cyril Ramaphosa over Marikana Massacre

Previously, Briefly News reported that Julius Malema, the leader of the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), has given the National Prosecuting Body (NPA) three months to prosecute President Cyril Ramaphosa for his complicity in the Marikana massacre.

Malema says if the NPA fails to prosecute Ramaphosa in the time frame stipulated, his political organisation will take the NPA to the high court, according to News24.

Malema highlighted that in 2015 his party opened criminal cases against former Minister of Police Nathi Mthethwa, Ramaphosa as well as South Africa Police Services bosses, however, the NPA has not yet prosecuted either one of them.
