The African National Congress laid charges yesterday evening against the Economic Freedom Fighters at Johannesburg's Hillbrow police station.

The EFF says it will defend itself in court against treason charges brought against it by the ANC. 

Malema warned the ruling party that if it continued to respond violently to peaceful protests, his party would remove the current government, 'through the barrel of a gun'.

 The comments were made by EFF leader Julius Malema in an interview with TV network over the weekend.
