This is as the pair’s criminal trial resumed in the Randburg Magistrate’s Court on Tuesday morning.
The charges against Malema and Ndlozi date back to April 2018 when they are accused of pushing Lieutenant-Colonel Johannes Venter – a member of the Presidential Protection Services – after he refused their vehicle entry to the Fourways Memorial Park where Madikizela-Mandela was being buried.
