The pair is accused of assaulting a police officer who tried to stop them from entering the cemetery during the funeral of struggle icon Winnie Madikizela-Mandela last year. They were released on a warning.
Malema maintained that neither he nor Ndlozi touched the police officer, but he said they should have.
“The only regret we have is that we didn’t take decisive action at that time,” Malema said. “We should have decisively dealt with the man,” he added.

Kriel said Malema was lying about the alleged assault.
“Mr Malema is not known for being a truthful person, in fact, he denied firing a firearm unlawfully and next week he will appear in court for that case. He's lying about this and the involvement in the VBS Mutual Bank looting,” he said.
