Julius Malema sentenced to prison
The sentencing follows a lengthy legal battle over Malema's actions during his party's anniversary celebrations several years ago.
Malema, who leads the Economic Freedom Fighters, has vowed to appeal the decision, describing it as politically motivated and racist.
The case has drawn international attention, including from President Donald Trump, who has previously criticized Malema's rhetoric.
The outcome of the appeal will have significant implications for the future of South African politics and the EFF's leadership.
