The future of ANC leadership

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.

Comrade I feel that your unjust criticism on our leader is an infestation of a syndrome that is affecting lots of youth in the country. You have not respect and most importantly no patriotism. The neo- colonial syndrome that is affecting you can only be cured by death and it will be of good if you where eliminated for your un patriotism or be sent to Europe as the European education fought for by the same comrade you are insulting is making you think that you are better.
The leadership of the ANC has never been stronger. You need to remember that now we are running the country so we are faced with different challenges and they have an impact in the manner our leadership is.
As for killing and dying that is what fellow comrades did not obtain this freedom and that is what we will do to make sure it is not lost or abused.
