sentencing in malema firearm case postponed to april

While a detailed report presented during the pre-sentence hearing of EFF leader Julius Malema has laid out the punishment that can be meted against him, including an option of a fine, the state is gunning for him to spend time behind bars.

The firebrand politicians sentencing was on Friday postponed to April 15 by East London magistrate Twanette Olivier.

Malema faces a maximum sentence of 15 years for charges related to discharging a firearm, while a term of imprisonment longer than 12 months would see him lose his seat in the National Assembly.
