ANC Suspends Julius Malema For Five Years
ANC Youth League leader Julius Malema was suspended from the league and had to "vacate his position", the party's national disciplinary committee said on Thursday.
"The respondent shall vacate his position as the president of the ANC Youth League," said chairman Derek Hanekom in Johannesburg.Malema was suspended for an effective five years."Malema damaged the standing of the ANC and South Africa's international reputation," said Hanekom.
Malema, who was busy writing exams in Limpopo on Thursday, had 14 days to appeal against the ruling.He would remain on full pay until all the appeal processes were completed, African National Congress spokesman Jackson Mthembu said.Hanekom said Malema had made himself guilty several times in the past two years of sowing divisions within the ANC.Malema was found guilty of criticising Zuma in another ANC disciplinary hearing last year.The national disciplinary committee at the time said should Malema be found guilty of provoking serious divisions or a break-down of unity in the organisation within the next two years, his ANC membership would be suspended
SHIVAMBU AXED
The ANC Youth League's "arrogant" spokesman, Floyd Shivambu has to vacate his position, the party's national disciplinary committee said on Thursday.Chairman Derek Hanekom said Shivambu was suspended and found guilty on several charges for swearing at a journalist, and for accusing the ruling party of associating with imperialists.The sanction was not suspended.Hanekom described Shivambu as defiant, arrogant and ill-disciplined.His membership of the ANCYL was suspended for three years and he had to vacate his position as spokesman.Shivambu was guilty of prejudicing the reputation of the African National Congress for swearing at a journalist, said Hanekom.Using vulgar language was a breach of the ANC's code of conduct, said Hanekom."A spokesperson is the face of an organisation."His action was unacceptable, Hanekom told reporters at Luthuli House in Johannesburg.He was also found guilty of misconduct about a statement he made on Botswana.Shivambu had said the ANC was "acting outside its own policy directives by associating with imperialists".His misconduct had "severely prejudiced" the ANC.He put the country at risk and his statement posed a threat to foreign investment."The NDC has noted the arrogance of the respondent," said Hanekom.
