After patiently waiting for Magistrate Olivier for almost two hours, Malema couldn’t take it anymore as he stood up in Court and let it out.

The EFF leader also took swipe at the media for not writing or doing anything about Olivier’s lateness over the past five years of this case.

Malema said all he wants to is for Olivier to respect time and those attending Court and its proceedings, adding that if him speaking out means prison, let it be.

“We have been here for five years, she’s never early in this Court, and no one has ever written an article about that,” said Malema.

“She is not above the law. She is not the law. She has a duty to respect us. This is unacceptable. We have two hours today. If anything, we should have started here on time.

“Justice must never be delayed, never! This is an absolute rubbish we must never stand for. If it means prison, let it be prison but no one must disrespect us like that,” he continued.
