ANCYL stands by attack on Zille

Youth League refuses to back down following rebuke from ANC leadership

ANC YL STANDS BY ITS VIEWS ON HELEN ZILLE AMIDST DISAPPOINTMENTS, INTIMIDATIONS AND THREATS

The African National Congress Youth League stands by its views on Helen Zille. The threats and intimidations of racist Helen Zille and DA supporters will not stop us from articulating what we decide to articulate. We understand the concerns and disappointment of the ANC leadership (see here) and will soon meet with them to discuss and defend our position on all the statements and remarks we made about Helen Zille (see here).

Helen is a racist girl who does not respect women, African people, cultures and traditions. Her 100% male and predominantly white cabinet is never justifiable. We further believe that her behaviour and sentiments are symptomatic of someone who was dropped on her head when she was a child.

Statement issued by the ANC Youth League, May 14 2009
