EFF leader – Julius Malema responded to AfriForum and a police officer who accused him of assault during Winnie Madikizela-Mandela’s funeral.
Malema and EFF MP Mbuyiseni Ndlozi came before the Randburg Magistrates’ Court to be tried for the alleged attack.
The court showed closed-circuit footage of the incident, which took place after police officer Johannes Venter refused to allow Malema’s vehicle to enter the cemetery.
Speaking to hundreds of his supporters outside the courtroom, Malema said he was not afraid of the accusations.
“We will make it to that appointment because we are not cowards. We must never be cowards.”
“We must never be threatened by apartheid policemen. We must never be threatened by racists who are trying everything in their power to undermine the unstoppable revolution.”
The trial will continue on Thursday.
