Malema and Ndlozi have at most times pushed their demagoguery politics, to a point of openly displaying hate towards whites. Today they are in court for assaulting a white man, and are both represented by white lawyers…sheer hypocrisy

Malema and Ndlozi can be clearly seem assaulting the police officer Venter. What defence is there for such behaviour that can convince the court? I know of none.
