AfriForum has denied claims that East London magistrate Twanet Olivier, who found Economic Freedom Fighters EFF leader Julius Malema guilty of Firearms Control Act violations earlier this month, is its member.
The civil rights group laid charges on Malema in 2018, leading to his prosecution. The charges stemmed from Malema discharging a firearm during the EFFs fifth birthday celebrations at the Sisa Dukashe Stadium in Mdantsane, Eastern Cape.
In an interview with Newzroom Afrika after the verdict, EFF member of Parliament Mazwi Blose claimed the party had received information that Olivier was a member of AfriForum.
