Legal journalist Karyn Maughan examined seven major cases against Economic Freedom Fighters leader Julius Malema, including his October 2025 conviction on 2018 firearm charges that brought a five-year sentence—he's free pending appeal.

Published Saturday amid the first voter registration for November 4 local elections, the article drew sharp divides: EFF backers called it a smear, while critics welcomed the review.

During a Thursday exchange with a reporter, South Carolina Republican Rep. Ralph Norman claimed the 2021 riot that injured over 140 officers and delayed election certification was 'made up' from the start, citing unproven ideas about police letting people in.

Lawmakers like Rep. Ted Lieu and Sen. Chris Murphy rebuked Norman sharply, while the timing coincided with a lawsuit by two Jan. 6-defending officers against a new fund for those claiming political prosecutions.

As anti-migrant groups push for undocumented foreigners to leave by June 30, the video highlights economic tensions dividing South Africans.

Resumen Completo

In late January 2026, authorities transferred Bester from Kgosi Mampuru II in Pretoria to the remote eBongweni Super Maximum Correctional Centre in KwaZulu-Natal, about 750km away, as a routine security measure for high-risk inmates like the convicted murderer and rapist. His lawyers called the move unconstitutional, arguing it blocked fair trial preparations by limiting consultations with their Gauteng team, but Judge John Holland-Muter dismissed the urgent application, ruling the transfer lawful and necessary. Bester, who faked his death in 2022 and escaped before recapture in 2023, now faces upcoming trials from the supermax facility, with many South Africans welcoming the decision for tougher prison oversight.

Punto Clave

Thabo Bester, the infamous 'Facebook Rapist,' hoped to return to a Gauteng prison for easier lawyer access. The Pretoria High Court said no, prioritizing his security needs.
