01 Feb 2016 | Admin Author

Boy Mamabolo, a former friend of axed ANC Youth League president Julius Malema, will appear in a Limpopo court next week on charges of crimen injuria and assault following an SMS spat.

The Sowetan reports that Mamabolo will appear in the Polokwane Magistrate's Court on Tuesday.

He allegedly sent a threatening text message to Malema saying he would exhume his late mother's body and take it to his grandmother's home in Seshego.

Mamabolo arrived at the Polokwane police station yesterday, accompanied by his lawyer Pholoto Seopela, who asked that he not be kept in custody. He was released on warning.

Malema laid charges against Mamabolo after receiving the text message.
