Watch: Julius Malema — Conviction, sentencing, and the battle for the JSC

South African politician Julius Malema has been convicted of assault with intent to do grievous bodily harm. The conviction stems from an altercation that occurred in March 2018. Following the conviction, Malema received a suspended sentence. This legal outcome is occurring amidst a broader political context, including what is described as a "battle for the JSC," likely referring to the Judicial Service Commission.

This conviction and sentencing could have implications for Malema's political standing and future eligibility for public office.
