The East London Magistrate’s Court in the Eastern Cape has postponed to September 17 the case against Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) leader Julius Malema and co-accused Adriaan Snyman.
Malema faces charges of unlawful possession of a firearm, unlawful possession of ammunition and three counts of contravening the Firearms Control Act while Snymaan faces one count of contravening the Firearms Control Act.
The incident took place when the EFF was celebrating its fifth anniversary at Sisa Dukashe Stadium in Mdantsane in 2018.
NPA spokesperson Anelisa Ngcakani says the lockdown regulations have prompted the postponement.
“The postponement will be done in the absence of the accuse. The postponement is due to lockdown regulations as the NPA we remain ready to carry through the case.”
