Is an idiot and the more we focus on this self absorded imbecile, we will end being sidetracked by dimwits who represent less than 1% of the youth of this country. Thank goodness, I am no longer considered youth, otherwise this nimcampoop might think he represent me. - Lvh |

We need wisdom
18/06/2008 08:39
The right leadership can totally make or break a country. (For a good example, look north of our borders at what once was the 'breadbasket of Africa'.) All of us South Africans, both Black and White, need South Africa to be successful, with a growing economy, overseas investment and more job creation. This will only happen with wise leadership. We do not need wild inflammatory statements from supposed future leaders like Malema. He should hang his head in shame. We need leaders with wisdom. - Doug |

I'm gobsmacked
18/06/2008 08:40
The ANCYL is a disgrace to the ANC and to South Africa. Our country is being overrun by people who doesn't seem to understand that you cannot go around saying that you will kill other people. It doesn't matter in which context you are saying it. So many good things have been done to unify our people and to establish a credible democracy since 94, but now this fool comes along and f%$&s it up again!! - konstabel |

Julius is an evolutionary mistake
18/06/2008 08:41
Whilst julius may believe he is living up to the ANC youths revolutionary ideals, I fully agree with the author that emptyheaded comments simply indicate the evolutionary (devolutionary perhaps?) mistake that is the ANC Youth League. This is not a black white issue - I`m not calling Julius a baboon because of his colour - I mean Barak is black and well isnt he fantastic. Julius is a baboon because he behaves like one. ANC Youth will never aspire to lead the country - they just arent smart enough - Stryker |

18/06/2008 08:45
I would expect the ANC to publicly condemn these remarks and subsequently punish Julius Malema (he represents the ANC after all). Not only is he enticing violence (I don't care how anyone tries to spin this); he is also stating that it is OK to disregard the judiciary system and democracy in order to get what you want. - Hein |

Political Rhetoric
18/06/2008 08:46
What a well written commentary. It saddens me to see so many of our so called leaders lack the political maturity to separate party from government. The other obvious observation is that once change takes place the "struggle" or "movement" is replaced by a political party and the will of the people is exercised by the BALLOT not by the bullet. Maturity then requires acceptance should there be a legitimate change; not threats of violence. Threats are the words of a spoilt child. - Watcher |

So typical of the ANCYL to promote violence. Kid soldiers without a war to fight. THIS is what African kids have to grow up with. Racism will NEVER die with violence loving assholes like Malema in charge ANYWHERE. Dug this quote: "Inspired the youth not just to fight against discriminatory educational policies of the National Party". Yet, even though, were in a democracy now, schools still get burnt down, and kids still refuse education. Africans are LAZY! - Sinudeity |

Your point about the dilution of the sentiment of 16/06/76 is spot on Hlabangwane.This chaps uterrances however are an indictment on the past and current leaders of the anc.Has he been groomed this way by them?.You want real leaders to stand up now that you see all you have is pied pipers leading you to the river of blood.We are witnessing the process of becoming a tyranical dictatorship with "leaders" who have cult status.We wont get real leaders in SA until we have real balance of power. - psycobabble |

YOUTH DAY
18/06/2008 08:48
My biggest concern lately with these commemoration days is that instead of celebrating the real heroes, the politicians easily hijack it to promote their filthy agendas. In the past it was 16 Dec and now 16 June. I think the sooner it be changed to some family picnic day, the lesser the chance exists for some silly aspirant clot to abuse this imortant day. - MARIO |

ANC juvenile delinquants league
18/06/2008 08:49
How is it that people who claim to be "liberators" have no respect for human rights. Killing people is human rights abuse. When this child was in COSAS he used to lead students into downtown JHB, vandalising hawkers stalls and thus depriving poor black people of their liveliehood.This illustrates total emotional maturity. Like Mugabe, the nationalist party and all other dictators he thinks he has the right to beat anyone up that disagrees with him. - Phillip |

Paranoia
18/06/2008 08:49
When will the paranoia of black people come to an end? No single party, ethnicity or person poses a threat to the ANC and or JZ why the constant antagonistic behaviour? Does it really come as a surprise to you Hlabangwane that Zuma's supporters are ready to take up arms when he sings of his machine gun at every opportunity? Although your view is commendable it is far from the underlying views of many ANC supporters who are paranoid of losing jobs they've already taken and laws they've passed - Cabbo |

I agree 100% that Youth Day isn't about Zuma! I'm also 100% AGAINST any reference to violence in public speeches & these should be banned... How can any idiot suggest to the 'youth' that they will be willing to pick up arm to kill for Zuma? SHOWS THE MENTALITY OF THE PERSON making the comment!!! Mr Nelson Mandela himself was against this type of behaviour & he is the closest thing to God himself... Why is it ok to promote violence now? Also, I respect Zuma, but ban 'bring me my machine gun'!!!!!! - Neutral |

Thugs are exactly what a large portion of them are. No respect for anybody else, not even themselves. But thugs might even be a bit light in the pants for what some of them are prepared to do. I?m still considered a youth, but I?d like to think my emotional and intellectual maturity will keep me from becoming as sheep-like as they seem to have become. A study had panel of 4 people, only 1 of them wasn?t planted. Simple question, with only 1 VERY obvious answer. 2 of the 3 actors were asked to answer first. Both got it wrong, on purpose. Approx. 75% of the time, the 1 guy not planted, would fall in with them. ANCYL falls right in there. Sheep-like thugs. - chillepeppa |

Irresponsible ANCYL President
18/06/2008 08:53
I am no more a youth, but i was so disappointed to hear the so called Youth President adressed SA youths about how they should support Zuma & kill. I was expecting a fruitful message from him,everyone has a right to support whoever prefer as a best candidate for presidency. He proved himself as a irresponsible leader like Zuma and this should be condemned in strongest terms.Ons is moeg to hear about Zuma there are so many leaders that can rule responsible - TLAKI |

I am deeply saddened that this has not only happened on youth day, but during the time of my youth.This century, a supposed 'leader' of the youth has nothing but encouraged violence with his irresponsible statements. the youth of today has so many challenges facing them, drugs/crime/dropping out of school(which i think he did himself)for which they have to be encouraged off. his statement has not place in the mind of a young person today.im certainly not part of the youth which he 'represents' - Odirilwe |

18/06/2008 09:02
Every public holiday or funeral,something is utterred in which the ANC supposedly distances itself later on, after the media outcry.If it is not "we will kill for Zuma", it is "kill a ..[one or other ethnic minority]", or "ignore the courts" or something other of the sort.One usually speak more moderately in public, than in private.How long before all South Africans openly say to each other, to organisation that claims to be governing this country, is rotten to the core? - kwk |

It seems that it has become a consistent media ploy to misinterpret and MISUSE comments in such a way to create alarm and sensation amongst those who are so impressionable about these things. It also then confirms the claim that we do have counter-revolutionaries in our midst and as the first-line of defence,we will protect our Leaders in their perusance of the NDR which is in the spirit of the youth of June 16. To what extent will YOU go to protect a process we are still fighting for? - Cape Town Kid |

Malema
18/06/2008 09:05
Julius Malema lacks a key ingredient for rational, responsible leadership. That ingredient is intelligence. His statement can only serve to tarnish the image of our democracy further. While we as South Africans might be able to contextualize his statement and dismiss it as reckless and self-serving factionalism, people outside of South Africa will view it a seed for the type of political dysfunction we see in so many African countries. Are these really our future leaders? - Frank |

The ANCYL are a bad joke. If Julius thinks his "explanation" of his comment fools anyone he is a bigger idiot than we thought. He says the time to kill is not yet and that they will resort to any lengths for Zuma. Zuma is not the country or freedom. The youth fought against apartheid, not a person, they fought for freedom not a leader.
Shades of Mugabe and his "war veterans"? Will the youth realise that they are being used or are they still so eneducated? - Birdman |

The Media...
18/06/2008 09:20
The Media have every right to highlight these inflamatory words, since the media focus on what is NEWSWORTHY, and when you say things like 'kill for' and 'die for', of course that's what is going to be reported. Malema, as a political leader, should be aware that it is wordslike that which will be reported, and thus not say them. You cannot blame the media for reporting what he has said - look to the person who uttered the remarks, not the media! The media are the last true bastion of democracy! - A Journalist |

So f-off! I am alarmed. I am alarmed that a 20-something idiot can, (1) become president of a youth league and (2) by MISUSING his capacity as a leader can utter such irresponsible crap.

We have to move past any talk about killing, anything that tells people that the end justifies the means. Unfortunately Malema truly represents a large potion of our society, and nobody is doing much to put them straight. Therefore Malema is the ugly reality of how morally sick our country is. Let's all watch what we say and think, that's a start. As far as I know, inciting violence is still a crime. Why wasn't he arrested? - Pieter Joubert |

There's no miscommunication or misinterpretation. He hijacked Youth Day and all it stands for to get a few shots off. The ANC condemn it, but only after the damage is done. This clown shouldn't even be allowed a platform to speak from. - Jas |

Context? What context?
18/06/2008 09:52
We can uhm and ah about whether Malema is quoted out of context or not. The fact is that he is talking civil war, and on e-TV he justified his statement with outdated Marxist rhetoric. He clearly does not know what democracy is, what the rule of law means, and he clearly does not even know what the Marxist rhetoric that he uses means. God help us if Malema is representative of future leadership. Responsible and liberal black leaders must now stand up and be counted. - Arjen |

They will kill for Zuma
18/06/2008 09:53
If I understand the ANCYL leader correctly then he said that they (the ANCYL) will KILL all the people who are against the black revolution. In other words according to him it means all the other political parties apart from the ANC. This could also be seen as an indirect threat to the white population of South Africa. - JB |

This young man ?Malema? must apologize to the public for his hate speech. If it was a mistake he should indicate to us, he should not try to justify all these nonsense he had said. The youth day was never being made for him to serve his interest as a president of the ANCYL, but for the whole citizens of the country. This day was not even made for the President of the ANC to serve his interest. The day 16 June should be used efficiently and effectively and we should use it to commemorate the events that happened on that day, and it should also benefit the youth as a whole not as an individual. I am very disappointed!! - Maanda |

And it is not only South Africa
18/06/2008 09:59
Politicisation of national memorials is a sign of weak leadership, in this case the ANCYL. George Bush does the same thing. Everything that happens in America at the moment is linked to "the war on terror". The world has never been in worse shape leadership-wise. Jacob Zuma epitomises that weakness. We have no leaders or parties that truly have a platform on which to run. The ANC/PAC run on Apartheid, the DP runs on finding fault, the rest don't matter. A vacuum of values. The future is bleak! - Excalibur |

Thanks...

Thanks for reminding us what youth day used to be about. It's not surprising that it did not focus on education this year. 14yrs+ and the education system is still not delivering for the black youth. It's Ok though, maybe the day should be about Zuma, he did not have an education. Blind leading the blind. - Rian |

@ Calvin the baboon and Cape Town Idiot

Yes, we misunderstood his statements, he meant to say that from now on the ANC useless League will help old ladies cross the street, support the judiciary and abide by the laws of this country. Clearly the "white" media took the "kill" and "die" statements out of context as they always do. Pity these idiots didn't finish school - something which has relevance with youth day! Maybe they should also go for mother tongue education, clearly the English does not work for them! - BigBang |

Discipline is needed
18/06/2008 10:11
The ANC needs to ensure that the ANCYL are disciplined. The Julius Malema, must be taken to task & criminal proceedings need to be implemented for inciting violence. The government needs to take a stand against this militant & anarchial behaviour. If they don't, then they are equally as guilty of not standing behind what their own constitution is supposed to represent. - Malcolm X |

If the leader of the ANC himself publicly and ignorantly sings "letha umshini wami" (bring my machine gun), what should we expect his followers (ANCYL) to be saying? No suprise that they are willing kill for that leader. He himself is inciting violance by this song. That is why he (Zuma) didn't even condem Malema on that day.
Shame on the youth of today. - Thokozani |

A while back my 60 year old domestic worker was almost in tears - she described her fear for what she calls the "cruels". She does not have one good word for the youths in her township. - now I understand why - she is "counter-revolutionary" !!! and should be killed according to you and Malema! - MC |

Les maada and other idiots

He confirmed on 702 that he meant what he said and meant it literally. Even if he did not, as you believe, it is a dumb thing to say to a group of youngsters who are easily influenced and quick to get aggressive or violent. Your precious ANC comrades are now stabbing each other at meetings! Has this ever happened in a DA or ID meeting? His statement is frightening and I and many other skilled people will flee the country if he keeps his promise. Then you can have SA and destroy it into a Zim. - LM |

malema immatured
18/06/2008 10:40
This boy is immatured,an idiot,insensitive,disrespectful and does not represent the youth. If so not me. He is just a populist and think he can use ZUMA 's problems to gain popularity. He does not belong to the anc.He belongs to high school politics of COSAS. We just had xhenophobic problems and he condemned it but today he will kill? - md |

Youth Day
18/06/2008 10:42
When I read about the speech of Malema, I was very upset but then I remembered the refrain: 1 settler 1 bullet. Where is that leader now? It is very sad that the ANC lack wise and responsible leaders. God is in control.We must pray for our country that it will fulfill its prophetic destiny. The Cape of Good Hope not The Cape of Storms. God bless Africa!

What joy, to read your comments and realise that there is hope for our country. Thank you for stating truthfully what exactly was said and meant. I was so frustrated yesterday by commentators from ANC stating we are misunderstanding, he did not mean what he said etc. Rubbish, he is a dangerous man in a dangerous position. He could cause untold harm and anarchy. He should be removed, and I for 1 pray that Mr.Kgalema Motlanthe becomes our President. Amen. - Alicia |

@Les-Maada re: Misinterpreted!!!!
18/06/2008 10:44
Thanks to the improved education system that the ANC has developed over the last 15years. I'm sure that the average man on the street understands the difference between figurative and literal speach.
Bear in mind that the man on the street appears to believe that violence is the best means of dealing with difficult situations, like immigrants. I look forward to your post condemming the next wave of violent attacks that sure to follow when the JZ trial starts. - Rian |

Well Written
18/06/2008 10:47
Thanks man, good clear article... it's a pity though that the many members of ANCYL don't have access to the internet to view more logical and positive inspirational leaders. Sad that they rely only on rallies and gatherings, further blinkering and blinding their judgement through pathetic shallow propaganda. It's a pity that they cannot define propaganda. It's a pity that their 'voice' is that of a fool. I doubt that they believe Malema's rantings, but the timid sheep have no-one else to follow. - Greg |

Do you honestly believe the unruly louts who disrupted the Polokwane and the ANCYL congresses understood immediately that Julius was speaking figuratively? - jb |

Singing to the gallery of public opinion
18/06/2008 10:55
Save us from this rhetoric, you clearly are offering are offering less insight like the hordes of wannabies accusing Molema. Julius like all citizens of this beloved country has the right to air his views. This attempts to curb discerning voices is reprehensible, Rem: ?defending you right to have your say??. Molema is showcasing a view the public has been oblivious and it make for quite an interesting and an eye opening read. South African should learn to listen Molema stated a precondition to taking up arms, he?s was not a blanket statement like Uncle Eugen?s. - Piet Van Bieltong |

Clueless
18/06/2008 10:59
The ANCYL have once again shown that it is perhaps time to relegate them to the wastebins of history. This guy is acting like the typical BMW M car driver: arrogant, stupid, and thinking his views are the best. Time to perhaps have him killed? - Soulblade |
