They have cited self-defense as the reason they pushed back at Lt Col Venter.
They are both back in the Randburg Magistrates’ Court to hear the ruling on this.
Malema and Ndlozi were caught on CCTV video footage in an altercation with Lt Col Venter in April 2018, at the Fourways Cemetery.
This was during the funeral of the late Winnie Madikizela-Mandela.
