I always believed that there was no credible youth leadership or organisation in South Africa at this stage - that has the interest of young people at heart.ANC Youth League (ANCYL) President Julius Malema's utterances saying the youth of South Africa would die in supporting ANC President Jacob Zuma; was the affirmation of the kind of young leadership we have in the country at the moment.
Malema shocked the world when he spoke on behalf of South African youth when he said: "We are prepared to die for Zuma .We are prepared to take up arms and kill for Zuma." Malema is "supposedly" one of the best one young leaders after he succeeded the Fikele Mbalula.
It really shouldn't be a surprsise about why Malema is the current ANCY leader and his utterances concerning Zuma, becuase he is the reflection of the organisation that elected him. It is only "natural" that Malema will one day join the rank and file of the ANC leadership and might be in government one of these days.
