The ANC did not find Malema guilty of provoking divisions and bringing the organisation into disrepute when he did all of that in favour of Zuma against Mbeki.Now that they see all is going against them,they find a way of shutting him up lol

Malema is an opportunist supreme. He found a theme to champion his own cause, he is very cunning, I agree he will not take this lying down, being the kind of dictator he has become. This kind of cold calculated cunning is rare in an individual, and leaves cold shivers down my spine. If he were to be analysed he would be found to be more than psychotic.

@ Trevor you could'nt have said it any better. Wherether or not Malema meant his aguments is another issue, but the fact is that he has a point in his recent aguments especially those that got him suspended. However, the problem in our country is that we do not want to be counted for positive issue because, even if he did not mean them we would be in a position to take them forwad as the people of South Africa had we put in some energy to reinforce him and not allow him to deviate from his positive utterances. Sadly when he hardly raised any issues the ANC leadership praised him as the future presdent when all he was doing was being disrespectfull and insulting their opponents. Now he is doing what he should have been guided to do a long time ago, he is suspended and huge numbers of our fellow partriots are apploding the move. In my view this is really negetive political and social precedent we are creating and we will leave to regret in no destant future. Remember, our leaders are looting and abusing power in most government and leadership positions with no renmorce or regards for the public's view or repremand. Hence I believe that if this current crop of leadership gets away with this decisin we will find it hard to our say.

The only thing that made Julius Malema "great" was the media's fixation on this thug, maybe the media should become a little more selective of their targets

Anyone who endorses dictators like Mugabe and Ghadaffi should be taken out of the public limelight. I agree that poverty needs to be addressed, but he's a hypocrite for saying it and his methods are downright pointless. Less investors means less jobs so his "manifesto" is totally unfounded. All it does is stir up people who are understandably angry about a lack of education and jobs.

He doesnt care a cent for anyone but himself. The "youth" are completely fooled. Malema is only looking out for Malema. How many poor people are included in his inner circle? He only hangs out with the wealthy. I just pray that the media will turn their back on this hyena and let South Africa get on with getting on with one another.

I have learnt that radicals are always a thorn to the complacent leaders and their sidekicks called followers. Where else in the world were radicals liked by the powerful, rich and politically minded blackwhite capitalists as well as imperialists Zuma was elevated by the likes of Malemas now he is there and forgetten where he is from. Zuma shuold not support reckless utterances however he should realise radical views and support such. When he campaigned to be the president I thought he has radical views...

It so said that Malema is being labelled by the tenders and the money he acquired, yet the very same people in ANC leadership accumulated wealth the same way Malema did. Its only when Malema raised issues that touched the nerves of the lefts and those who are in the comfort zone of ANC structures in the name of freedom fighters. Having ssaid that it is clear that ANC itself is at odds; they can not implement the same Polokwane resolutions which saw Mbeki out of presidency before his term, now that Malema raise the very same issues he is labelled names. Malema doesnt say anything that wasnt agreet on, where as others are quite about them. I wish all young South Africans can be more politically aware of the core reason why Malema is expelled. Well said SAIRR While the policy solutions he proposed were unworkable, he was one of the few ANC leaders to identify that South Africa's youth were an under-represented political constituency.”

i think malema had great plans,but he needed guidance from the old guys,he is a force that you cant just brush aside,but i guess they know what they are doing.

Well said, very objective. Could not everyone see it this way.They so jealous of Malema it makes me sick.

The problem with Malema is dictator kind of leadership. I like what he says, but dont think he pracrice what he says. Maybe SAIRR was gaining some tender through Malema, who knows.

So, the Institution for RACE Relations thinks the suspension of Malema, who's been fanning the flame of racial tension, was harsh. Irony - you've got to love it...
