AFRICAN NATIONAL CONGRESS

OFFICE OF CHAIRPERSON

PRESS STATEMENT

by Ms B. Mbete

I have been thinking long and hard about the remarks I made at the ANC North West provincial conference on Saturday, 14 February 2015. I have concluded that my remarks - all offending statements I made - were inappropriate. The manner in which they came across was unfortunate and regrettable.

I withdraw my remarks unreservedly. I apologise unconditionally, to South Africans, to Parliament and Honourable Julius Malema for any hurt or harm I may have caused.

Thank you.
