EFF leader Julius Malema has described charges against him, which the Hawks intend to institute, as a mockery of the system.
Armed with three legal heavyweights, he told reporters the Hawks indicated that five charges would be instituted against him for allegedly discharging a firearm at a rally in the Eastern Cape. He was represented by advocate Tembeka Ngcukaitobi and attorneys Laurence Hodes and Ian Levitt. Malema added that after getting advice from his lawyers, he did not think there was anything to answer to, adding that the Directorate for Priority Crimes Investigation was “mischievous”.He told journalists that charges against him were politically motivated, challenging the Hawks to make sound decisions when charging him.
