Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) supporters arrive ahead of South African opposition politician Julius Malema’s appearance at court for a pre-sentencing hearing.
Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) leader Julius Malema says he will not be deterred from advocating for the marginalised, as he awaits sentencing following his conviction in the firearm case.
Speaking to party members who came to support him during pre-sentencing in the East London Regional Court in the Eastern Cape, Malema declared that he will not be intimidated.
The case has been adjourned to the 15th and 16th of April for closing arguments.

Malema says those who brought the matter to court did so out of hatred for what he represents, claiming that the conviction is an attack on his principles.
“Fighters, we must never lose this courage. It doesn’t matter what the magistrate decides. The revolution continues. We know why we are being attacked. We are attacked because we are the only black authority; we are the only black people who speak, and other people listen. They do not listen to anyone except the EFF, even when they pretend not to love the EFF, but when the EFF speaks, every black person wants to hear what the EFF said on this matter,” says Malema.
