DA racist to complain about Malema's protection bill - ANCYL

THE ANC YL CONCERNED ABOUT THE CONTINUED REPORTING ON THE SECURITY OF ANC YL PRESIDENT JULIUS MALEMA:

The ANC Youth League initially chose not to entertain the irresponsible, immoral and disgusting Newspapers' reports about the security of our President, Julius Malema. We did so because we strongly believe that security issues are not supposed to be discussed in public, even when meant to score cheap political points.

The statements released by right-wing political parties, the DA in particular (see here) in response to this confidential matter are clearly informed by the racist traditions of these minorities' parties.

The ANC YL calls on all responsible media to altogether stop reporting on the personal security of the ANC YL President because we believe it is confidential. We also call on the DA to shut up and respect the democratic principles, institutions and processes of the ANC led government.

Majority of DA supporters witnessed with appreciation when apartheid sponsored killings of thousands of our people for many years and know of the cowardly assassination of Chris Hani.

It can never be correct that they are the first ones to complain when the President of the ANC YL is given security. We are left with little option, but to believe that the DA's objection to ANC YL President's security arrangements is informed by ulterior and possibly fatal motives.

The morality of the media in South Africa, particularly the foreign owned Independent Newspapers has completely degenerated. They continue to sensationally report about the President of the ANC Youth League without facts.

The Youth League will continue to expose these foreign owned vampires, who manipulate desperate black and African Journalists to rubbish and bastardise African leadership.

Statement issued by Floyd Shivambu, ANC Youth League spokesperson, November 9 2009

Police Ministry spokes-man Zweli Mnisi said Malema had received death threats. '(Malema) wrote a letter to the SAPS advising of his request to receive such protection as he believed his life was in danger,' he said. 'Crime Intelligence, upon receiving this request, conducted an investigation which then revealed that indeed there were threats to his life.' Mnisi said Malema was then given the choice of using either the police's VIP Protection Services - the unit that guards ministers and other dignitaries - or private bodyguards. The SAPS would foot the bill for both options."

OMG!!! Does Floyd actually believe the drivel he writes? Say it isn't so... In the first instance, to complain about the press now when Juju is the most media-hungry politician in the country, is laughable. You want coverage Juju? Then you have to . .more take the good with the bad. To state that Juju's personal security arrangements are private, when they are publicly funded is a further indication of the sheer stupidity of the author. Our constitution guarantees openness, transparency and accountability, especially when OUR money is being used to pay for this protection. And finally, let's not forget the omnipresent RACE CARD!! What would an ANCYL statement be without an attack on the whites of this country? This is nothing more than state-endorsed racist rhetoric at its finest. Give us a break, Floyd. If you don't like the media, then stop speaking. We would all welcome the peace. . .less by Samjank on November 10 2009, 00:54 Find this comment inappropriate? Report it

Ridiculous statement Please tell me these guys dont control the majority of the future vote. The ANCYL is on a mission to start a race war through hate speach.

vampires All that the ANCYL can do and they do it well is calling people racist, animal names and this new one vampires. Why do they not want prosperity for all? Sad that they spew their racism and hate to the youth of this country and fuelling the . .more racial tension that is towards white people here, that are trying like everyone ells just to live and let live. I must say I am starting to feel unwanted in my country that I love so.

JM is a coward!! only cowards would ask for VIP protection. If you can't handle politics, get out or better still shut up. Ordinary south africans face the risks of living in SA each day, and get no protection from the Govt. I would happy if the media would teach this lot . .more a lesson and ignore them for a while. Print nothing of theirs, attend no more press conferences etc. Sadly though, the bad story sells media can't get enough of this crowd. . .less by VuVu on November 11 2009, 15:52 Find this comment inappropriate?
