Citizen4.png ANC lays treason charges against Julius Malema Simnikiwe Hlatshaneni, The Citizen, Johannesburg, 25 April 2016 The ANC has laid a charge of high treason against EFF leader Julius Malema following his controversial interview with Al Jazeera on Sunday in which he threatened to "remove this government through the barrel of a gun". ANC spokesperson Zizi Kodwa told The Citizen tonight: "We have opened a case of high treason against Julius Malema in his personal capacity as well as the EFF, following his reckless comments about being prepared to remove a democratically elected government using undemocratic means and force. "We are doing this on behalf of all South Africans to defend and protect our hard-won freedom and democracy." Kodwa opened a case at the Hillbrow Police Station in Johannesburg just after 6pm. Malema's "inflammatory" statements have also outraged ANC alliance partner, COSATU. The trade union federation has accused Malema of promoting a coup. COSATU president Sdumo Dlamini described Malema's latest remarks as reckless. COSATU spokesperson Sizwe Pamla later said: "In any other situation, it would be easy to say that Malema's statements can be ignored, but given the various coalitions making calls to topple the ANC government, this is something that must be taken very seriously by law enforcement."
