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. Other probes, like tax evasion tied to the VBS scandal, went unprosecuted, while past hate speech led to fines. 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. Malema pushed automatic registration via a new bill and rallied youth at stations, as over 23,000 sites saw steady turnout from the 28 million already enrolled out of 39 million eligible.
