Members statement by Koos van der Merwe MP, Inkatha Freedom, National Assembly, Parliament, Cape Town, September 20 2011:
MR MALEMA AND THE ANC'S LACK OF LEADERSHIP
Mr Speaker:
It is becoming clearer by the day that the ANC is torn into at least two belligerent factions and that the leadership has become incapable of leading. The ANC's fractured leadership appears to be totally paralyzed in dealing with its Youth League.
Mr Malema and his supporters openly make a mockery of the ANC leadership.
They misbehave, some of them act like hooligans; they openly defy the Rule of Law; they arrogantly commit contempt of Court; they ridicule the ANC leadership; they scare off international investors by threatening with nationalization; they insult white South Africans as thieves and they act as if they, themselves, rule South Africa.
