The ruling party must stand firm should ANC Youth League president Julius Malema appeal against his five-year suspension, AfriForum said on Thursday.
“If Malema's suspension is not overturned on appeal, he will no longer be a figure that must be taken seriously,” chief executive Kallie Kriel said in a statement.
Malema has vowed to appeal against the suspension. He conveyed this message to supporters after writing exams in Polokwane in Limpopo.
The controversial leader will remain on full pay until the appeals process is completed.
The ANC's national disciplinary committee found Malema guilty of provoking divisions within the ruling party and of bringing the organisation into disrepute.
He was ordered to vacate his position following his suspension from the ANC.
Kriel said Malema had overestimated his support.
“Malema has been the biggest polarising factor in the country for the past two years and without him on the scene, it will be much easier to promote mutual recognition and respect between communities,” he said. – Sapa
