Julius Malema had it all planned to perfection — right down to having a firearm transported from Gauteng all the way to the Eastern Cape so he could fire shots at a stadium packed with 20,000 people.

And the EFF leader knew exactly how to do it, having been taught to handle firearms by the ANC since the age of nine.

So said deputy director of public prosecutions Adv Joel Sesar in papers opposing Malema's bid to overturn his firearm convictions and escape a five-year prison sentence.

"His conduct to possess the firearm/s was not spontaneous, impulsive or accidental," he said in his affidavit seen by IOL.

"It was planned, intentional, deliberate and executed with precision."
