The DA has responded with outrage to reports that ANC Youth League leader Julius Malema will receive VIP protection which could cost taxpayers some 300-thousand rands a month.

It is understood Malema sent a letter to the police ministry saying his life is in danger.

He has since been assigned guards to ensure his safety around the clock.

The DA’s Dianne Kohler Barnard says this is unacceptable.

Barnard wants to know why the public have to pay for private citizens to have VIP protection units surrounding them.
