Julius Malema and EFF Demand SA Government Addresses the Rise in CIT Heists

• The Economic Freedom Fighters have reminded the government of Julius Malema's warning about cash-in-transit heists
• Malema previously shared his belief that state security entities are involved in the heists, which have increased in South Africa
• Many South Africans agree with Malema and have applauded him for taking a stand against organised crime

JOHANNESBURG - Julius Malema, the leader of the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), previously called on Government to intervene in the increase in cash-in-transit (CIT) heists in South Africa.

Following the Rosettenville incident earlier this week, the EFF has reminded the government of Malema's warning. The opposition party leader urged law enforcement not to cower to criminals.

The EFF shared clips to social media showing Malema warning the government about the increase in CIT heists in South Africa.

Malema's theory about CIT heists

According to TimesLIVE, Malema believes that South Africa Police Service (SAPS) officers, Hawks employees, and members of the South African National Defence Force (SANDF) collaborate with criminals to conduct CIT heists.

“The Hawks are participating in CIT heists. Army people are also found in that. There is a general degeneration under your leadership. CIT heists are uncontrollable because you are weak, you are not firm and criminals don’t like weak people,” Malema said.

Malema urged the government's security cluster to address the CIT heists by detecting planned heists and apprehending criminals before the heists take place.

Phumzile Van Damme impressed with Malema's conduct against AfriForum lawyer

Speaking of Julius Malema, Briefly News previously reported that Former Democratic Alliance Member of Parliament Phumzile Van Damme was thoroughly impressed with how Julius Malema, the Economic Freedom Fighter leader, conducted himself in court last week.

Malema appeared in court to testify in civil hate speech case launched by civil society group AfriForum. AfriForum wants Malema to pay a fine of R500 000 for singing the struggle chant "Kill the Boer."

AfriForum alleges a correlation between the singing of the struggle song and the murders of white farmers, Malema has denied this allegation.
