Expelled ANC Youth League leader Julius Malema is expected to appear in the Polokwane district court on Wednesday on money laundering charges amounting to R4.58m.
He faces charges of fraud and money-laundering relating to his alleged role in securing a tender for a company in which his family trust has an interest.
On Tuesday four co-accused were granted bail of R40 000 each after appearing in the Polokwane magistrate's court for fraud and corruption.
They face charges of fraud for alleged misrepresentation to secure a tender worth R52m while the corruption charge relates to the alleged payment of a million rand as gratification to secure a tender.
Suspended ANC Youthe League secretary General Sindiso Magaqa says it's clear that the charges against Malema are politically motivated.
" This is clear dictatorship if you differ with people they will unleash police they will unleash SARS, everything" Magaqa said.
