NATIONAL NEWS - EFF leader Julius Malema has responded to reports over the weekend that the party’s Gauteng conference became violent on Saturday night.
On Monday morning he tweeted that “the mob” was retweeting “every story that says Malema was attacked, wishing it was true”.
“The truth is EFF had three successful elective provincial conferences in GP, NW, MP & that won’t be retweet because there was no drama & they are disappointed.”
On Sunday morning, news broke that Malema’s security unit, known as the Defenders of the Revolution (DOR), had allegedly beaten up and shot live rounds at EFF members in the Vaal on Saturday night.
Malema attended the party’s provincial people’s assembly gathering in Midvaal to oversee the election of new leaders.
