Cape Town - The South African Students’ Congress (Sasco) has launched a vitriolic attack on former ANC Youth League president Julius Malema and his “Economic Freedom Fighters”, labelling them “helpless daylight tsotsis”.
In a statement issued by the movement’s president, Ngoako Selamolela, and secretary general, Themba Masondo, Sasco said it is “deeply disturbed and hurt at the persistent attacks on the ANC by some crazy political juveniles posing as ‘economic freedom fighters’.
“Whereas we accept that every citizen has a right to form or join political associations of their choice, we take serious exception to the childish attacks against the ANC by these bizarre ‘economic freedom fighters’. Instead of focusing on their purported political programme, these crazy juveniles are only preoccupied with throwing cheap insults at the ANC and its leadership.”
“These are helpless daylight tsotsis who have stolen the programme of the ANCYL as resolved at its 24th National Congress.”
They call on students “to rise up and defend the ANC from these politically expedient juveniles who seemingly cannot live without hearing their soundbites and names in the media.”
