Arrest warrant 'doesn't mean police would run after Julius Malema' | IOL News

East London - The East London Magistrate's Court has issued a warrant of arrest for Economic Freedom Fighters leader Julius Malema for failing to appear in court.

Malema was set to appear on Monday for allegedly discharging a firearm at an Eastern Cape rally in 2018. National Prosecuting Authority Eastern Cape spokesperson Luxolo Tyali said the order was stayed until Malema's next court date - May 8, 2020. “Today was to furnish the defence with the contents of the docket. After this, his attorney will then take further instructions from him and it will be decided by the National Director of Public Prosecutions if a trial will start, however there are other options that could be decided - the ball is in their court.”

Tyali emphasised that the warrant was entirely procedural as per court rulings, and did not mean that police would run after Malema.

If it was another race a chance to explain for absent in court was going to be given but now the matter affect the African child let arrest him! One day our people will look for the answers and it's not going to be nice.

So a warrant of arrest is not a warrant of arrest

But if it was me, it would mean exactly that - police running after me. Treat the bloody scum the same way you treat everyone else.

That stu×+id judge that issued a WARRANT OF ARREST of Zuma opened the can of worms and exposed the Judiciary.Malema did this intentionally and it will take a long time 4the general public 2trust Judiciary if its continues 2behave this way,especially the Pretoria High court judges

I see Julias is using a white lawyer for his case. A real vote of confidence in his own. But then they all do it when the jail keys are rattling...

Wrong perspective in terms of warrant of arrest against EFF CIC
