Julius Malema fraud trial confirmed by South African court South African opposition politician Julius Malema has lost his bid to have corruption charges dropped and is set to face trial next year. The former ANC Youth League leader has been charged with fraud, money-laundering, and racketeering. Judge Ephraim Makgoba set the trial to start on 30 September 2014. He allegedly received some $392,000 (£240,000) from corrupt activities involving government deals - an accusation he denies. Hundreds of supporters of Mr Malemas new party, Economic Freedom Fighters, gathered at the Polokwane High Court, in Limpopo for the hearing. The large crowd, carrying vuvuzelas (plastic horns) and clubs, chanted songs against President Jacob Zuma, reports say. They sang muso wa Zuma reya o menola, meaning we will unseat Zumas government, according to AFP. bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-25138784
