The police have arrested Malema’s lawyer on Thursday evening June 23 in connection with the shooting of four farm workers. Tumi Mokwena was charged with attempted murder and will spend the weekend behind bars after his bail application was postponed.

Well, known lawyer Tumi Mokwena shot and injured four farm works on the Zebediela Citrus farm in Limpopo. Apparently, Mokwena went to the farm to meet with workers who had wage disputes with management.

When he arrived, a group of angry workers confronted Mokwena and accused him of failing to pay the workers. Mokwena was part of the farm’s management and the fuming workers armed with sticks and stones charged at him demanding that he leave the farm. While Mokwena was in the office and trying to leave, several workers stopped him from leaving and fearing for his life, Mokwena shot at the workers, injuring four.

The injured workers were taken to hospital for treatment.

An investigation is currently underway.
