Malema sentencing: Experts warn outcome could shape EFF’s political future

Political experts have weighed in as Julius Malema appears in the East London Magistrate's Court on Thursday for sentencing in his firearm discharge case.

They told IOL that the outcome could have major consequences for both his political future and the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF).

"The evidence demonstrated that he made use of a firearm that he did not possess a licence to use, and discharged that firearm in a public space, potentially endangering people around him. However, no one was injured or killed as a result of his actions," said crime expert Guy Lamb.
