ANCYL disgusted by Tutu's ranting

ANC YL ADVICE TO EMIRITUS ARCHBISHOP DESMOND TUTU

The African National Congress Youth League is disgusted by the ranting of ex Archbishop Desmond Tutu. The ANC YL has for some time ignored the archbishop's disgusting statements, and currently realises the need to advise the Archbishop on what to do. The ANC YL will always defend the ANC and its leadership, and will not disrespect men and women of cloth. When men and women of cloth enter the political fray, they should expect us to respond to them at the same level they speak about our organisation, and that does not mean disrespect. Archbishop Tutu should appreciate the reality that majority of South Africans will on the 22^nd of April 2009 re-affirm the ANC and President Jacob Zuma as leader of South African government and society.

Like we advised others before, the Archbishop should psychologically prepare himself for the reality that the ANC will once again be affirmed by the people of South Africa as government of the people with an increased majority. President Jacob Zuma will be President of the Republic of South Africa and all people in South Africa, Africa, and the world including New York have since appreciated that Jacob Zuma is the incoming President of South Africa. The notorious archbishop should not worry about explaining anything to the people of New York, as they already know and appreciate that President Jacob Zuma will be President of the Republic of South Africa.

In his democratic right to criticize the ANC, Tutu should at least have the decency to respect the rule of law and all process that the Prosecutions Authority has to undertake within the ambits of the law. The ANC YL will not entertain any of the sentiments he made in this regard as we are fully aware that Archbishop Tutu is making a fool of himself, and disrespecting the Constitution he claims to be defending.

Once again, we advise Archbishop Tutu to repeat every hour until the 23^rd of April 2009 that President Jacob Zuma is President of South Africa. By doing so, he will be joining millions of South Africans; including opposition parties who have internalised the fact that President Jacob Zuma is the incoming President of the Republic of South Africa.

Statement issued by the African National Congress Youth League, April 4 2009

The Kindergarten speaks Is it possible for the children in the kindergarten to make their point witout one feeling that they are disrespectful to an elder. There is real something with the ANC youth league, it is not arrogance. May be it is in our past as a society. by Miya on April 03 2009, 11:23 Find this comment inappropriate? Report it

Mene, mene, tekel u-pharsin ... Take a scale. Place a (rather tattered) chicken feather on the one side; then put an ounce of gold on the other side. What happens? Even someone who has only scraped through matric should be able to work this ought. by Seth P. on April 03 2009, 12:18 Find this comment inappropriate? Report it

I am disgusted at the ANC YL ranting You can't even excuse their ignorance to youthfulness - most of these idiots are over 30. Is this really the best the ANC can dig up as future leadership material ? Why would anyone think these people can solve South Africa's problems? I . .more could find 10 year olds who can communicate and think better than these morons. . .less by Sad days on April 03 2009, 13:38 Find this comment inappropriate? Report it

Std 3 Prez for the corrupt ANC mobsters and ignorant rural! JZ will never be recognized as Prez by the moral and educated masses of SA! But then fools/violence mongers don't care; check how "Zulu" taxi drivers behave? by Mute Fool on April 03 2009, 14:22 Find this comment inappropriate? Report it

ANC trash These idiots have their so-called freedom because of people like Desmond Tutu. Yet they show him no respect at all - quite the opposite. Doesn't bode well for the country or it's citizens if future ANC leaders are going to come from this gang . .more of hooligans. . .less by Reitz on April 03 2009, 14:56 Find this comment inappropriate?

ANCYL Moondogs ANCYL rants are legendary and their gatherings are known to have been accompanied by mooning, bullying and vandalism. In their Zuma T-shirts they are starting to resemble the fascist youth brigades of pre-war Germany who targeted all rational . .more dissenters of Hitler's policies and the ZANU-PF young war veterans. I fear these times could be upon us again unless wise, aware people like Tutu are supported and their voices are heard. . .less by fearful on April 03 2009, 15:38 Find this comment inappropriate?

ANCYL A Laureate award winner and ANCYL simpletons dare to think that they are in his league. What a sad day for this country when uneducated youth (students) such as this, dare to think that they can ever challenge a visionary such as Desmond Tutu !! by Taxpayer on April 06 2009, 08:22 Find this comment inappropriate?

Most degrees are flawed Most people talk about education as though they are educated especially white people.99% of graduates from apartheid universities have been gifted the degrees hence the issue of using the student numbers instead of full names.Some of us with english . .more surnames benefitted and acquired free degrees. Malema and Co. are more knowledgeable than most of you. . .less by Dabede on April 06 2009, 20:46 Find this comment inappropriate? Report it
