Economic Freedom Fighters leader Julius Malema has dodged the bullet, for now. Malema has been granted leave to appeal his five-year prison sentence for being in violation of the Firearms Control Act. Magistrate Twanet Olivier told the East London Regional Court, that Malema’s conviction still stands.
