Malema facing animal cruelty charge for EFF birthday slaughter
Updated | By Jacaranda FM
The National Council of Societies for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (NSPCA) has opened a criminal case against Julius Malema.

WARNING: This story contains graphic descriptions of slaughter and is not for young and sensitive readers.
It relates to a video in which the EFF leader is seen seemingly struggling to slaughter a cow during the party's 10th-anniversary celebrations in July.
The red berets held a ceremonial slaughter in Magaliesburg, where animals donated to the party were prepared for the official rally held at the FNB Stadium in Soweto.
The EFF received 100 donated cattle.
The NSPCA's Jacques Peacock says they believe Malema violated the Animals Protection Act.
"Mr Malema repeatedly inflicted pain and caused unnecessary suffering on the animal by inflicting more than 11 stabs and over 60 instances of twisting the knife into the fully conscious animal.
"After a thorough investigation, the NSPCA has laid criminal charges against Mr Malema in accordance with the Animals Protection Act."
