# Al Jama-ah party says it is confident that a higher court will carefully consider the legal merits and the broader legal constitutional principles of EFF leader Julius Malema’s appeal, to ensure that justice ultimately prevails. Malema has been granted leave to appeal his five-year direct imprisonment sentence for unlawful possession of a firearm. Al Jama-ah’s Imraan Moosa says the Constitution guarantees that every accused person has the right to have their conviction and sentence reviewed by a higher court, which may arrive at a different decision.
