Juilius Malema and free speech

I wonder if we could get FIFA to agree to an old-fashioned gladiator contest at the WC opening ceremony...

Andre Visagie and Julius Malema battle to the death with tridents and nets before the opening game.

The crowd wouldn't know who to cheer.

ANC CONDEMNS UNTOWARD BEHAVIOUR TOWARDS JOURNALISTS

The ANC strongly condemns the behaviour of ANC Youth League President, cde Julius Malema, towards a BBC TV journalist, John Fisher, at yesterday (April, 07, 2010) ANC Youth League press briefing. The aggressive and insultive behaviour to the said journalist that culminated with Mr Fisher walking out of the Youth League press briefing cannot be condoned at all.

What a fantastical country we live in, soap opera's are for americans, give us the news :D
 
President Jacob Zuma on Saturday lashed out at the conduct of ANC Youth League President Julius Malema, saying that the statements he made were alien to the culture of the ruling party.

Zuma criticised the youth league leader for defying a court ruling which banned the singing of the words "dubul' ibhunu" [shoot the boer].

He also lambasted the horrendous manner in which Malema had treated a BBC journalist and the statements he made about the Movement for Democratic Change after his visit to Zimbabwe.

"We reiterate that leaders should think before they speak, as their utterances have wider implications for the country," Zuma told he media in Durban.

"The relevant structure in the ANC will look at what has happened to see if the line has been crossed. If the line has been crossed, there will be consequences," he said.

Malema hits back

Speaking at a press conference at the ANCYL's conference in Limpopo on Sunday, Malema said he would not take personal responsibility for his remarks regarding Zimbabwe last week.

He said he "can't understand" why he had been rebuked for his statements on Zimbabwe, as the views expressed was not his, but those of the youth league.

"We [the ANCYL] did not sneak out of the country [to visit Zimbabwe]," he said. "We had the blessings of President Zuma," Malema told South African Broadcasting Corporation news.

He said he was shocked about the way he had been rebuked by Zuma.

"Even [former] president Thabo Mbeki, when he differed with the youth league, and the youth league had taken firm radical positions against him, he never did that," he said.

America may have Palin, Limbaugh and Beck, but they have nothing on Malema.

Only Phelps sinks lower. :p

They don't have any real crazies on the left. We have both left and right.
