Malema case postponed

This comes after Malema told supporters in KwaZulu Natal to claim any piece of land.

Magistrate Ian Colditz released Malema on a warning, in order to give him and his team time to approach the High Court to challenge the constitutionality of the Riotous Assemblies Act of 1956.

"Mr Malema, this matter is then postponed until 7 December 2016. If proof is provided that your application is filed by 7 December, you need not appear on that day, but you are warned to appear again in this court on 5 May 2017 at 8.30am," says Colditz.

Malema's legal representative, Tumi Mokoena says they papers are ready and the hope to file application tomorrow.

"The Act provides for racial tensions between European and non-European citizens. Since I was born after 1994, I don't know what European citizens are. We are all South Africans," says Mokoena.

Meanwhile, supporter from the EFF were joined by those of the ANC and the IFP.

An ANC supporter said the decision to support Malema has nothing to do with politics.

"It's about land. Malema will fight for us," he says.
