FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
“(Disciplinary committee chair) Derek Hanekom’s dismissive approach to
everything the ANC Youth League said shows he had a different agenda to
implementing the ANC constitution,” he said.
His chances of swaying the appeals committee were slim. Aside from avowed
capitalist Mr Ramaphosa, the group includes Trevor Manuel, the former
finance minister who has made no secret of his dismay at the calls for mine
nationalisation, and Jeff Radebe, the justice minister who was speaking when
Mr Malema stormed into the ANC meeting.
Mr Ramaphosa did grant Mr Malema and five of his colleagues suspended with him
permission to present mitigating arguments to the disciplinary committee.
But the upholding of the convictions activates a previous, suspended
conviction Mr Malema was handed in 2010 for responding to a chiding from
President Zuma by complaining that the former president, Thabo Mbeki, had
never publicly upbraided him.
That conviction is a suspension from the party for two years, which now comes
into effect.
Mr Malema was present in Luthuli House, the ANC headquarters, and met with the
appeal committee shortly before the press conference. But he later slipped
out of a back door to escape the media scrum.
While there was no repeat of the violent scenes which marked the beginning of
the hearing, when bussed-in supporters of Mr Malema clashed with riot
police, a small gaggle of “Juju” – Malema – fans sang and danced
outside.
Skhalo Nong, 28, a delivery driver from Katlehong township outside
Johannesburg, paused from chants of “Viva Juju! Viva!” to remark: “There
is nothing wrong with what Malema did, he is fighting for us – he is our
voice.
“We still want to nationalise the mines, the banks, the land – we want
our world back, we want our country back for the blacks.”
Fiona Forde, author of the recently published Malema biography, An
Inconvenient Youth, said Mr Malema’s career may not be over yet.
“Ultimately, Julius’ fate will be determined by whether Jacob Zuma
remains in power past December. If he does not, he might well be brought
back into the fold,” she said.
