JOHANNESBURG{{ (Reuters)}} – {A South African judge struck the corruption case against fiery opposition politician Julius Malema off the roll on Tuesday, saying that the firebrand leader had waited too long for the trial.}
Malema was charged with money laundering, racketeering and corruption related to a government contract worth 52 million rand ($4 million) awarded by a provincial department to a company in which he held a stake through his family trust.
The charges against Malema were first brought by prosecutors in September, 2012.
