JOHANNESBURG - The assault case against Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) leader Julius Malema and his colleague Mbuyiseni Ndlozi has been postponed to next month for a trial date.

The two briefly appeared in the Randburg Magistrates Court on Monday morning relating to an incident that happened at the funeral of struggle icon Winnie Madikizela-Mandela in 2018.

Malema and Ndlozi are accused of assaulting a police officer at the burial.

The red berets said that all they were fighting for was to enter the cemetery to bury Madikizela-Mandela when the officer stopped them.
