The ANC have filed treason cha

Well, no playing around here.

The ANC has opened a case of treason against Julius Malema, after the EFF leader told news channel Al Jazeera he was prepared to remove this government through the barrel of a gun.

EFF spokesperson Mbuyiseni Ndlozi tried to do some damage control in the wake of Malema’s comments, saying the EFF will only resort to violence if the state is violent towards it and its members, but that hasn’t stopped the ANC from taking drastic action.

“We are doing this on behalf of all South Africans to defend and protect our hard-won freedom and democracy,” ANC spokesperson Zizi Kodwa told The Citizen.

A case was opened at the Hillbrow Police Station on Monday evening.

Malema’s “inflammatory” statements have also outraged ANC alliance partner, Cosatu. The trade union federation has accused Malema of promoting a coup.
