Ngizwe Mchunu Tells Court He Has Evidence Julius Malema Is Protecting Illegal Immigrants

PRETORIA, GAUTENG— Controversial musician and president of Amabhinca Nation Ngizwe Mchunu doubled down on his allegations that Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) president Julius Malema was protecting illegal immigrants. Mchunu appeared before the Pretoria High Court on 19 May 2026 as Malema’s case against him continued.

Mchunu addressed the court and said that he has never been convicted of a crime and is concerned with the freedom of South Africans. He accused politicians of intimidating anti-illegal immigration activists. He added that it should not be a crime to want to make South Africa great again.

Mchunu, who recently participated in an anti-illegal immigration march in Johannesburg, called on the court not to rule in Malema's favour. He said the law must be on their side because they have observed the rule of law. He said, though, that Malema has violated the law on numerous occasions. He said that Malema spoke harshly about the justice system after he was sentenced to five years for firing a gun at a rally.

He said that he was surprised when his source informed him that Malema was prepared to sacrifice his political career.
