Malema a monster in the making

[Butch Hannan]

Don't you think a better question is what kind of society do we have for this kind of person to still be in a position of influence?

There is one thing that bothers me about Malema and that is whether he is very clever or just plain stupid. He has become a wonderful diversion for the ANC for the real problems of this country. Let us not forget that Zuma owes his survival in the ANC mainly to Malema and the youth vote. Is Zuma not the person pulling Malema's strings.

Noose Tightens

ANC has finally reacted and it looks like they are trying to reign him in.

The ANC "strongly condemned" its youth league president Julius Malema's treatment of a BBC journalist, a spokesperson said on Friday.

"The aggressive and insultive (sic) behaviour to the said journalist that culminated with Mr Fisher walking out of the Youth League press briefing cannot be condoned at all," said spokesperson Jackson Mthembu.

The ruling party issued a strongly-worded response to the incident at an ANCYL media briefing on Thursday.

Reflected negatively on ANC

"The unfortunate outburst by Comrade Julius Malema did not only reflect negatively on him, but also reflected negatively on the ANC YL, the entire ANC family, our alliance partners as well as South Africa in the eyes of the international community."

Malema called BBC journalist, Jonah Fisher, a "bastard" and an "agent" before booting him out of the media briefing.

This was after Fisher had quipped that Malema lived in Sandton while the youth league president chastised Zimbabwean political party, the Movement for Democratic Change, for operating out of offices in Johannesburg's upmarket Sandton.

"The behaviour in question, by the ANCYL president is not in keeping with the culture and traditions as well as conduct of a cadre and leader of the ANC.

This is from the times website. So lets see how this twists and turns now. Just why does it happen before the world cup wow can we as South Africa shoots ourselves in the foot!

One of our friends from overseas has cancelled his planned visit to the opening of the 2010 ceremony because of the utterances of Malema. This is very sad to me.
The articles from Justice and Cane Berman are very good. What is happening is that politically connected black people are benefitting from BEE. They in all probability view this as "just rewards". The masses are no better off than they were and in fact a lot are far worse off now.

Hiya Guys, been a while!!

I think that ANC is finally getting to a point where enough is enough. I hope anyway. He needs to be brought under control. Problem now is that so does AWB at the same time. These 2 small factions can end up causing a world of cuck, even potentially to world cup. Time to get it under control JZ!

Hiya Guys, been a while!!

Welcome back, Garth

One of our friends from overseas has cancelled his planned visit to the opening of the 2010 ceremony because of the utterances of Malema.

It wasn't that ridiculous story about a racial massacre happening in the streets? From what I've seen there have been some ludicrous reports running overseas that is absolute BS. Don't know where they suck their stuff from.

[Jacques#1]

Fake or real? Going around in emails today, "official tourist tshirts".

[garthu]

Great to be back

Tks Dave, good to be around. I have a couple of those pics from overseas news papers. Ill find them and post them. REALLY STUPID STUFF and where they get from. One of the lines "people running around the street with machete" Talk about inciting!! REALLY stupid

[garthu]

Here they are, found. The BS is incredible and the reporters involved need to get there facts straight. They offer good reason as to why the press takes so much flack on there freedom.

[Dave A]

The ANCYL (and some factions within the ANC) are not happy about Jacob Zuma's public comments on Julius Malema.

I just love this bit:

League spokesperson Floyd Shivambu said Zuma's public stance had surprised him. The league had agreed with ANC officials after an incident in which the league publicly attacked ANC deputy president Kgalema Motlanthe last year that leaders should refrain from open mutual recrimination.

"We were not aware that Zuma can condemn any leader of the ANC in public," said Shivambu.
from M&G story here

Of course, that's not criticising the President in public.

In any society there are the 1%'ers and unfortunately ours is divided to the left and right. M&G has a thought leader that maybe expresses what most of us (99%) think
