Youth League wants front page apology for report about Julius Malema remarks

ANC YL CONDEMNS SUNDAY TIMES THUGS AND RASCALS FOR THEIR DELIBERATE LIES AND DANGEROUS DISTORTIONS.

The African National Congress Youth League condemns the rascals and thugs who are hiding as Journalists and Editors of Sunday Times Newspaper for the deliberate distortion of ANC YL President Julius Malema. In their front page report, the Sunday Times deliberately tells lies about what the President of the ANC YL said when addressing the ANC YL Rally in Cator Manor, KwaZulu Natal. Even the audio which they direct listeners to open in their website does not say anything they claim ANC YL President 

The Sunday Times claims that President Julius Malema said that IFP leader Mangosuthu Buthelezi is a "Mickey Mouse". Never in the address, did ANC YL President refer to Mr. Buthelezi RASCALS "Mickey Mouse", he instead said KwaZulu Natal is home of the ANC and not of "Mickey Mouse" political organisations. This was never intended on any particular leader of opposition political parties, yet the Sunday Times rascals choose to tell deliberate lies and choose to direct the remarks to Mangosuthu Buthelezi. The Sunday Times should be aware of the sensitivities involved in making such a claim, and we will do everything in our power to make sure that they are brought to book.

In telling their lies, the Sunday Times chooses to refer listeners to the Website, knowing very well that many people in South Africa don't have access to the Internet. The Sunday Times should stop their campaign against the ANC and ANC YL President Julius Malema, particularly if they still define themselves a public Newspaper. The ANC YL understands that the Sunday Times is becoming a Newsletter of opposition parties, yet telling deliberate and sensitive lies should always be avoided. We demand an immediate front page retraction and apology from the Sunday Times (Opposition Political parties Newsletter).

ANC Youth League president Julius Malema outdid himself at a rally in Durban’s Cato Manor yesterday, branding DA leader Helen Zille 'racist', 'colonialist' and 'imperialist'. Her deputy, Joe Seremane’s 'role . .. is to smile at the madam every time,' he said. IFP leader Mangosuthu Buthelezi was 'Mickey Mouse' and COPE consisted of 'angryists' who 'don’ t smile'. He came to ANC president Jacob Zuma’s defence: 'If Zuma is corrupt, then we want him with all his corruption. We want him with all his weaknesses. If he is uneducated, then we want him as our uneducated president'."

Education
Given the numerous spelling and grammar errors in this article, one wonders if it wasn't written by Malema himself. Morons...

They forget to mention the other truths.
That letter by the ANC forgets to mention or apologise what Malema said about Zille being a racist and a colonialist. Two very big lies. He wants a front page apology - well then make one for Zille too!

And I listened to the audio - Malema . .more

Anti-everybody
ANCYL is against anybody who doesn't think and act as they do.
Why should the Sunday Times and it's staff be any different, especially when they expose these idiots as the shallow, callous phonies that they really are ?

Julius Malema
The comments about Zuma are worrying. They surely mean that if he is convicted of corruption, the youth league still want him as president despite his conviction and sentence on crimes of dishonesty. Does this mean he could possibly run the country from . .more

Malema
Malema needs an apartheid style P**S KLAP. If he suffers this type of indignity only then perhaps he will appreciate that South Africa has moved on and he could then start to appreciate what his elders have achieved,

No tainted president
Raka, if Zuma is convicted and sentenced, there is no way that he can be President, unless there is an amendment made to the constitution (for which the ruling party would need a two-thirds majority vote in favour, which they are unlikely to be able to . .more

To think that...
Julius Malema and the ANC YL are going to be leading this country in the future is too horrible to contemplate...but is very real. With the cronic hate in him, Malema could even outdo Mugabe. The poor is not only going to be poor. They are going to . .more

IT's A CONSPIRACY THEORY
Julius Malema is an alien from Roswell planted in the ANC by those white racists at the CIA.
