Johannesburg - An arrest warrant for former ANC Youth League President Julius Malema was issued on Friday, City Press can reveal.
Malema is expected to appear in court in Pretoria or Polokwane next week on charges of money laundering, corruption and fraud.
The case relates to his Ratanang Family Trust and its shareholding in On-Point Engineering, a company that has made millions from Limpopo government tenders.
It was still unclear whether Malema would be jailed before he appears in court. His lawyers previously urged the National Prosecuting Authority and the Hawks not to arrest him but to tell him when and where to appear in court.
Malema reiterated this week that he would appear in court if charged.
