MBOMBELA – The state prosecutor, Mr Thabo Nkosi, told Magistrate, Ms Winnie Baloyi, that there was not enough evidence that shows EFF caused violence, and for that reason he found no case against them. Speaking to Mpumalanga News, Sedibe said he knew from the start that there was no case against them, instead these were means by the police and the provincial government to silence them.
