AfriForum accuses NPA of dragging feet in prosecuting Malema
Afriforum is accusing the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) of dragging its feet in prosecuting Julius Malema.
The lobby group has written to prosecutions boss Shamila Batohi, to force her to act on three pending cases against the EFF leader.
Afriforum says Malema thinks he’s above the law. It wants the case involving On-point Engineering to be reinstated.
Malema and his co-accused had faced fraud and racketeering charges. The matter was struck off the roll in 2015 due to delays.

The group is now threatening to prosecute Malema privately.
