EAST LONDON - The defence representing Julius Malema and Adriaan Snyman reiterated during the heads of argument that there was no evidence to suggest that Malema had fired live ammunition in front of a packed crowd.
Question marks have been raised around the authenticity of the video that was captured, where Malema had allegedly fired the rounds, and it has been argued that no witness had testified to suggest that their lives were in danger on the night of July 2018.
Magistrate Twanet Olivier says she needs time to deliver judgment as she is currently sitting in over 180 cases.
Malema and his co-accused will learn their fate on the 29th of September. That’s when the Magistrate is expected to finally hand down judgment in their gun trial.
