Sowetan has reliably learnt that most provinces, except Mpumalanga, are preparing to support the move should Malema's appeal, which was submitted last night, fail. The league in Mpumalanga is opposed to the move as it will prejudice Malema's deputy, Ronald Lamola, from taking over in line with the league's constitution.

An ANCYL insider yesterday said Limpopo and the North West were also supporting Lamola, but they were concerned about the presence of treasurer Pule Mabe in the top five of the leadership.

Mabe, who is serving his second term as treasurer, was recently alleged to have gone to KwaZulu-Natal and Eastern Cape to lobby for support to replace Malema.

"There are fears that if you let the DP (Lamola) take over, the TG (Mabe) could manipulate systems and end up running the league from behind the scenes," said the insider.

There are behind-the-scenes lobbying to get a "strong candidate" like Eastern Cape chairman Ayanda Matiti to stand for election at the congress.

Limpopo secretary Jacob Lebogo was also considered.

Abuti Malema - needs to act like a like baby and accept change. If one door closes, there other door opens. There are lot of opportunities out there; he even knows better than many of us. Bye-bye, Brother!

This story is old news, sowetan is just recycling this story. I see they cant go a week without the YL, guess it has become their meal ticket. Malema is going nowhere, deal with that, there are still many routes to take before he could "go". So put back that klipdrift back in2 your coolerbox. MALEMA IS HERE TO STAY, you like it or not.
