Malema Claims ‘White Supremacy’ at the Heart of His Assault Case

• EFF leader Julius Malema claims that 'white supremacy' is at the heart of the assault case he is fighting in court
• In 2018, Julius Malema and Mbuyiseni Ndlozi were charged with assault following an altercation between the two and Lieutenant-Colonel Johannes Venter

JOHANNESBURG - EFF leader Julius Malema claimed that the assault case lodged against him and Mbuyiseni Ndlozi stems from white supremacy.

He and Ndlozi had tried to have the case closed but had not been successful. Malema took the stand in the Randburg Magistrate's Court.

Malema and Ndlozi are being charged with assault after an altercation took place at the Fourways cemetery following the late Winner Madikizela-Mandela's funeral service. The two allegedly confronted Lieutenant-Colonel Johannes Venter.

Following the interaction, Venter opened a criminal case against Malema and Ndlozi in 2018 according to EWN.

Malema claimed that his actions were justified because Venter was preventing him from burying Madikizela-Mandela.

The Randburg Sun reported that Malema and Ndlozi pleaded not guilty in the case of assault. The prosecution is arguing that any form of touching can be construed as assault and in the footage of the incident, it can clearly be seen that the pair push Venter.

Malema was questioned over the video footage at length. Venter had barred them from entering the funeral because their vehicle did not have the authorisation sticker on the front as the other vehicles did.
