SUPPORTED: Expelled ANCYL president Julius Malema.

SLAMMED: ANC Youth League treasurer Pule Mabe.

First to face the league leadership's wrath was its treasurer-general Pule Mabe - on whom a motion of no confidence was passed yesterday in what insiders described as an "emotionally-charged" meeting.

What was meant to be a meeting to discuss Malema's expulsion from the mother party last week, and to decide on a way forward, turned nasty when dirt on Mabe and tactics to embarrass other politicians, including President Jacob Zuma, were raised. "Some wanted him expelled immediately, but we decided to give him a chance to explain himself in a disciplinary hearing," said an ANCYL leader who attended yesterday's meeting.

Other members spearheading a revolt against Malema were also warned that they would face disciplinary action and possible expulsion from the league.

The charges against Mabe came after the league in KwaZulu-Natal launched a public attack on him last week, claiming he was campaigning in their province to replace Malema.

Mabe has denied that he went to KwaZulu-Natal to campaign, saying he was mandated by the ANCYL national lekgotla to meet with regional treasurers throughout the country to develop a fund-raising strategy.

NEC members yesterday told Sowetan how plans were also afoot to highlight the discrepancies in dealing with discipline among ANC members - especially with regards to Zuma.

The league intends on showing how Zuma on several occasions - including fathering an illegitimate child with Sonono Khoza, the daughter of soccer boss Irvin Khoza - embarrassed the party and got off scot-free.

"He (Zuma) has gone unpunished for being scandalous, yet Malema speaks on behalf of the league and he is expelled. Where is the fairness in that?" asked an NEC member.

Last Wednesday, Malema, youth league spokesman Floyd Shivambu and secretary-general Sindiso Magaqa unsuccessfully appealed against their suspensions after they were charged with ill-discipline.

Malema faired the worst and was expelled, spurring a defiance campaign which was also discussed yesterday.

David, even if you did not mention that you are a white rac.ist, I would have picked up. 400 years cannot be fixed in 18 - 19 years. Your acestors managed to collect w.ealth for you, that makes you arrongant today, you mentioned that you worked in the townships, how many black di.ed in your hands, how many lives has been lost in your eyes and you expect black to move on as if nothing has happened. I know you are white and your probably passed at a university whithout writing any test, your statement has no evidence of intelligence but a lot of hogwash mixed with your life expirence, it's people like you who would make me want to take revenge of what happend in front of my eyes. Your granddad ki.lled mine for a land and claimed the opposite, Don't come here with your white supremacy knowing very well that you have set the whole system to favour you, when you talk of investers, who are you referring to? are they not white? You pretend that if you were in powere you'd do something better, look here, you used to be in power and "what happenned"? All blacks were shifted in one undeveloped area and you lotted all the we.alth. Don't come here and become jajarag. You are nothing, and you will never be an african, what you are referring to is a document that was trying to accommodate stu.pid white fools to hang around so we can win our land back fair and square.

These ANCYL boys need to be circumcised, all of them. We don't want mashoboro walking around spreading AIDS. The same goes for their old man Zuma.

Zuma is stronger than Malema politically. He does not fight personal politics. Women love him. The Khoza lady is not a child she proposed Msholozi her self. You know that actions speaks louder than voicing. This youth leage must be disbanded. They now getting worse,.
