🔥 Julius Malema and his bodyguard face court drama in a firearm discharge case! What is the latest twist in the trial that has everyone talking? 🔫

Julius Malema, the fiery leader of the EFF, is embroiled in a high-profile firearms trial alongside his co-accused bodyguard, Adriaan Snyman. The trial stems from the alleged discharge of a firearm during the EFF's fifth birthday celebrations, leading to a legal showdown that has captivated the nation.

In a surprising turn of events, a ballistics expert challenged the evidence, suggesting that a cartridge found at the venue may have been planted. This revelation added a new layer of complexity to the case, raising questions about the integrity of the evidence presented.

Defence tactics were in full swing as an expert witness, Martin John Hood, testified that Malema is not unfit to possess a firearm. The courtroom drama intensified as Hood's testimony countered the prosecution's claims, setting the stage for a heated legal battle.

As the trial unfolds, the public remains riveted by the ongoing proceedings, with Malema and Snyman facing charges that include unlawful possession of a firearm and ammunition, along with contraventions of firearm laws.
