Episode Details

South African politician Julius Malema, leader of the Economic Freedom Fighters, faces a potential 15-year prison sentence for firing a rifle at a rally in 2018. Convicted of unlawful firearm possession and discharging a weapon in public, Malemas sentencing could remove him from parliament, impacting his partys support among young South Africans. The prosecution argues a harsh sentence is necessary to deter his followers, while Malemas lawyers seek a fine. The case heads to sentencing on Thursday, with Malema vowing to appeal any ruling.
