President Jacob Zuma's endorsement of Julius Malema continued to cause more ructions on Tuesday, prompting the ruling party to come out in defence of the youth league leader, describing him as a philanthropist.

This after President Jacob Zuma endorsed the ANCYL president as a future leader of the ANC.

In his most emphatic display of support for the controversial youth league leader, Zuma praised Malema as a "leader in the making" and someone who would be worthy of inheriting the ANC.

Surely, I am certain that the citizens of this nations will agree with me that President JZ has made a huge deliberate mistake by aplauding Julius as a future leader. Perhaps, we do need to call a spade a spade now: Both JZ and Julius are less educated to occupy the positions they are in today. Being a leader does not mean you are rewarded for the factional support that you command. Any leader must be well informed about the academic and philosophical debates taking center within the Republic and across the Planet. I do not think the Julius and JZ make the cut rergading that. A youth leader must be well informed of the challenges facing youth and should make strides to address those issues. A leader must practice what he preaches. When you speak of education, you must be educated as well. We cannot blame the previous system all the way but rather get educated. A piece of advise is for these fellows to reconvene with their studies. Please.

I do not think Malema is a leader, for a youth league president, I have never once heard black or colored praise him for making opprtunities in the country for development and I do not mean his support for stupid protest at CPUT.Hes to uneducated to be a leader leader develop themselfs through education and continuos research on issues that affect them. In my books if they call him a leader I would rather see a wild monkey be appointed in his position.

Do you know that Julius was reposible for burning of schools? Do you know that Julius his a gangster in his own way? Julius being in the media is a cover up for the ANC. I am a proud ANC member, but I have to reconsider and change because of hate speech and racism in ANC.

Keke - you're right - the ANC is indeed running the country - into the ground. The 'people' will eventually wisen up to the reality that their lives have been stolen from them by all the "deployed ANC cadres" filling their bellies at the trough provided by rates and taxes. When the likes of Malema have chased away enough of the people (black and white) that can make a difference to this country, the trough will run dry and there will be no more to pilfer. That's when the brown stuff will hit the ANC fan.

A picture speaks a thousand words........ The ANC and all the other political parties can think and say what they want but remember that this country is run by whites whether you like it or not. When the "boere" in the background put down their feet the ANC will listen, they are just puppets who have to toe the line at the end of the day. Malema will get his day and it's not going to be as the leader of the ANC......guaranteed. One has to wonder when the masses will wake up and smell the roses. Their fat cat leaders are milking them dry and they blindly follow and support their leaders, making them as laughable as their leaders, this just shows how the masses will destroy each other with the white man not having to lift a finger to achieve it. Carry on ANC - you are destroying your own people, the white man will be there to pick up the pieces and make this country whole again when you idiots have run out of options and come crying for help.

Read Anthea Jeffries book "People's war" which gives a in-depth history of ANC strategy and actions during their struggle for power and you will understand why Jacob Zuma is absolutely correct. Malema would make an ideal leader for the ANC.

"The photo says it all" I totaly agree with Mark. Malema is the topic on every daily news report, because of the media. That is where this idiot is gaining support media and microphone. Does anyone know what money was actualy raised and sponsered? Why is there this big out cry by some of the feed back on this forum, that he is actually building a church and a house? If I am not mistaken the ruling party which is running this country into the ground by the minute was last responcible for housing, security, hospitals and what ever else. Some of them call it "service delivery" and the list goes on. Why does the ANC and the ANCYL claim that this idiot has done something for the community and still "claim" it. It is your responsibility!!!!!!!!!!!! Do see what is going on or not????????? Performance bonuses by the millions and millions for how many sectors of goverment is spent. What performance are we seeing? Except more and more claims for higher rates???????????? Don't do what is expected and then stand back in amazement and then claim, "look what i have done". That is what this idiot is doing and how many others. Is this one house and one church so big that everyone which does not have a house or church in SA can fit into it???????? no it's not. So you ANC get on with your work and stop supporting a total clown all of the wrotten ANC and ANCYL fools. I am convinced that there are more good in the ANC than the handfull that supports this idiot Malema
