AfriForum has welcomed the move by the police to seize 12 assault rifles found on the premises of Julius Malema’s security. Boss, Adriaan Snyman.
Afriforum said on Sunday that it had laid charges against both Malema and Snyman after Malema fired off what appeared to be an assault rifle during the EFF’s five-year festivities at Sisa Dukashe Stadium in Mdantsane in the East London.
“In AfriForum’s statement to the SAPS, we give the names of witnesses who saw the alleged firing of the weapon by Malema,” said Afriforum’s Head of Security, Ian Cameron.
“These include Dali Mpofu, a senior advocate involved with the EFF, and Mbuyiseni Ndlozi, spokesperson of the EFF. AfriForum hopes that the SAPS will get the witness statements of everyone possibly involved in this matter and that these persons will be called as witnesses”.
He said AfriForum supported the SAPS and other bodies in the investigation into Malema and Snyman and were elated about the fact that the SAPS is currently taking strong action against them.
Cameron said AfriForum had also already laid a formal complaint with the Private Security Industry Regulating Authority against Snyman.
“In this complaint, it is requested that Snyman’s actions are investigated regarding the alleged ownership of a suspected firearm and ammunition, as well as the fact that this firearm was given to Malema to fire,” Cameron said.
