EFF is in the news after Julius Malema’s firearm conviction and South Africa reopening Biko’s death inquest—both highlight ongoing political turmoil.
Julius Malema, leader of South Africa's Economic Freedom Fighters, has been sentenced to five years in prison for firing a rifle at a 2018 rally. He has been released on bail pending appeal. If upheld, the sentence will disqualify him from Parliament, dealing a major blow to his party.
