JUDGEMENT AGAINST MR JULIUS MALEMA ON FIREARM TRIAL
The Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) notes the judgment delivered today in which the President and Commander-in-Chief of the EFF, Julius Malema, has been found guilty in the firearms case by the East London Magistrate Court. This matter, relating to an incident at the EFF’s 5th Anniversary celebrations in the Eastern Cape in 2018, has been maliciously pursued for more than seven years.
Throughout this period, the case has been dragged through the courts, not because of compelling evidence, but because of the political agenda driving it. It is no surprise that the state has pursued this matter to this point, for there have always been coordinated attempts to discredit and sabotage the EFF and its leadership. from the moment CIC Malema and the EFF fearlessly confronted corruption in the highest offices, demanded land expropriation without compensation, and exposed the capture of the state by both local and global capital, the system has sought to silence him by any means necessary.
We are not shocked by the outcome of this judgment, because the racist right-wing Donald Trump has openly issued an instruction for the arrest of the President regardless of whether there is a legitimate case or not. This has created a political climate in which the judiciary is influenced by imperialist and right-wing agendas rather than evidence and fairness.
This judgment is part of a wider pattern, as CIC has faced a series of politically motivated prosecutions in the past. He was dragged before courts on charges relating to freedom of speech and the singing of our very own struggle songs, as well as encouraging his own organisation to stand up to white racists in the case of Brackenfell.
The EFF is therefore not surprised nor deterred by this judgment. We will engage the judgment further, seek comprehensive legal advice, and move with the attention to appeal this ruling, trusting that higher courts will expose the weaknesses and contradictions of this prosecution. We also raise serious questions about the conduct of the magistrate, particularly the acceptance of hearsay evidence that was not tested in court. Such practices undermine the fairness and integrity of judicial proceedings.
When the state previously failed to prosecute the CIC on trumped-up charges that were dismissed, it became clear that the intention has always been to persecute him in any way possible, regardless of merits or evidence. It is even more hypocritical and proves a political agenda, that accused number two who was alleged to have handed the firearm to the CIC has been acquitted of all charges, yet the individual he is accused of handing the firearm to has been found guilty.
This proves that this was a witch hunt to target the President of the EFF and find him guilty no matter how irrational it may be For this reason, the EFF has accepted that we must continue to fight not only political persecution but also the broader alliance of racist organisations, elements of the judiciary, and state machinery that remain in the pockets of the white establishment.
The persecution of CIC Malema is ultimately an attack on the millions who look to the EFF as a vehicle for change. It is an attack on the poor, the landless, the workers, and the youth of this country who refuse to be silenced. We reaffirm our full support for our President and CIC, and we call on all Fighters, ground forces, and progressive South Africans to remain committed to the cause of economic freedom in our lifetime.
The President and Commander-in-Chief, Julius Malema, will continue to demonstrate his respect for due process by availing himself for all court proceedings, including the sentencing scheduled for the 23rd of January 2026.

MEMBERSHIP STATUS OF MR OUPA BROWN MOGOTSI

MEMBERSHIP STATUS OF MR OUPA BROWN MOGOTSI
The African National Congress (ANC) has noted recent allegations that certain individuals, including Mr Oupa Brown Mogotsi, are alleged to be involved in serious organised criminal activity. Our membership records confirm that Mr Mogotsi’s ANC membership has expired.
We now can confirm that Mr Mogotsi is therefore not an ANC member. These allegations are deeply concerning, not only for the individuals involved, but also for the communities and institutions whose safety, stability and confidence are undermined by criminal syndicates.
The ANC wishes to make it clear: we distance ourselves unequivocally from any form of organised criminal activity. Crime and corruption are the enemies of development and democracy. They corrode the very values for which generations of South Africans sacrificed in the struggle for freedom.
The ANC will not allow its name to be associated with those who betray the principles of our movement for personal gain. Membership Status and Renewal Should any individual implicated in criminal activity apply for membership, such an application will be processed strictly in terms of the ANC Constitution, which governs the rights and obligations of every member. Rule 4.2 provides that membership of the ANC is open to all South Africans over the age of 18 who accept its principles, policies and programmes, and who are prepared to abide by its Constitution and rules. Rule 4.10 provides that any objection to an application for membership may be made by any member to the Branch, Regional or Provincial Secretary. Rule 4.11 provides that at any time before the individual is accepted as a full member of the Organisation, or in exceptional circumstances even after the member has been admitted, the Secretary General may rule that the application or the membership be rejected if it was obtained invalidly. Rule 4.16 requires every new member to make a solemn declaration, pledging loyalty to the aims and objectives of the ANC, and to place their skills and energies at the disposal of the people, not for personal enrichment: “I, […], solemnly declare that I will abide by the aims and objectives of the African National Congress as set out in the Constitution, the Freedom Charter and other duly adopted policy positions, that I am joining the Organisation voluntarily and without motives of material advantage or personal gain, that I agree to respect the Constitution and the structures and to work as a loyal member of the Organisation, that I will place my energies and skills at the disposal of the Organisation and carry out tasks given to me, that I will work towards making the ANC an even more effective instrument of liberation in the hands of the people, and that I will defend the unity and integrity of the Organisation and its principles, and combat any tendency towards disruption and factionalism.” Duties of Members and Misconduct Membership of the ANC is not only a right; it comes with solemn duties. Rule 5.2.7 requires every member to observe discipline, behave honestly, and loyally carry out the decisions of the ANC.
The ANC Constitution is unambiguous about what constitutes misconduct: Rule 25.17.4 prohibits any unethical or immoral conduct that detracts from the character, values and integrity of the ANC, or which brings the movement into disrepute. Rule 25.17.17 further provides that conduct which prejudices the integrity or repute of the Organisation — including collaboration with counter-revolutionary forces or groups that undermine the ANC’s mission — is grounds for disciplinary action. Organised crime syndicates, by their very nature, fall within this definition.
They operate as counter-revolutionary networks, undermining state capacity, hollowing out institutions, and fuelling factionalism, corruption and violence. No ANC member can be part of such structures and still claim to honour the solemn declaration of membership. The ANC’s Position The ANC will act firmly and without hesitation against any of its members found to be involved in criminal activity. Cases will be referred to the Integrity Commission and, where warranted, to the ANC’s disciplinary structures in line with Rule 25. They will also be reported to law enforcement, because no one is above the law. The ANC is a liberation movement that has always placed the interests of the people first.
We remind South Africans that the ANC is bigger than any individual. Those who betray its values for greed, criminality or factional interests are not acting in the name of the ANC. The ANC will continue to renew itself so that, together with the people, we can build a capable, ethical and developmental state that works for all.
