Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) leader Julius Malema held a media briefing on Thursday.
Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) leader Julius Malema has called on all South Africans to resist succumbing to “juvenile and politically motivated insinuations” drawn from the work of the Madlanga Commission of Inquiry.
Malema used the EFF’s media briefing on Thursday not only to announce their mayoral candidates and put their campaign manifesto forward, but also to address issues surrounding his name being mentioned at the Commission, and the legal action against the ruling interdicting the Impeachment Committee.
Malema came under scrutiny at the Commission after WhatsApp messages between suspended Crime Intelligence head Major-General Feroz Khan and tobacco executive Mohamed Sayed were presented as evidence.
According to the WhatsApp messages presented before the commission, Khan allegedly coordinated, through Sayed, a plan with Malema to remove former Inspector-General of Intelligence Setlhomamaru Dintwe. The commission also heard allegations that Khan shared confidential case information with Malema, despite him not being authorised to receive it.
