Malema misses Mangaung deadline
Axed ANC Youth League president Julius Malema’s plight will not be discussed in Mangaung, party secretary-general Gwede Mantashe said.
A letter by Malema asking for his job back was too late for the programme of the ANC’s national conference, Mantashe told reporters in Bloemfontein.
He said the letter surfaced on December 16, on the first day of the ANC’s national elective conference, and after the programme was adopted.
Ousted ANCYL spokesman Floyd Shivambu said on Monday he, along with Malema and former ANCYL secretary-general Sindiso Magaqa, submitted the letter on Sunday to ask the party to “reverse the outcomes... that culminated in our suspensions and expulsion from the ANC”.
The three said they were willing to behave appropriately in future.
“We remain loyal supporters and members of the ANC willing to be corrected and guided under its principles.” The trio said they had not gone to court because they believed the national conference should take another look at the disciplinary process that led to their expulsion.
Mantashe said the Malema matter had been “handled and was done” by the party’s disciplinary structures.
“It was exhausted and finished.” He acknowledged it could have been handled at the conference, but the letter had arrived too late.

Hehehehe...wena you sweared at all those who were to take you back, Zuma, Mantashe, Cyril, Hanekom, Sdumo, Baleka, Patrice, and whoever you did. Floyd referred to Sdumo as Nurse Sdumo because he rised up from Nehawu. Haaaaai or you thought you are indespensible.Those guys in mangaung are clever because if even if they discussed your matter it was to be regarded as if the reconciliation they talked about was just umdlalo njeee if you not taken back.
Now its up to the ANCYL to find its way out and bayonyisana, I will be watching. Will Lamola hold on, Pule Mabe was on the other faction and he celebrated big, and there is smart boy Lebo.

Better you do jail time Mr. Hiring lawyers you will be sharing all what you got with her and when it's over u will not survive. This is the time who your real friends were in all your spheres of life. But I will only see Sara and your son the rest will forget about u. Those who saw you politically relevant then you nothing to them today and worse they will hide your grave.Einaaaa, Malema ke la nago.
That's the best u can do. ANC is run by people who worked underground in it, Chief Zuma, Maharaj, and all. I still a small boy like Johan Fisher, you knew nothing about the revolution.

Those three should not be accepted back to the party because they are chameleons and change colours at any time,they are wolves in sheep's cloathing once they are back they will then show their true colours to the party,they will start campagning again all sorts they were doing while were still active.For Malema is worse because he want to go back to the party which is under the leadership of JZ WHOM HE SAID HE DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO WRITE AND IS A DICTATOR,SO IF HE WANT TO BE BACK IS HE GOING TO WORK with JZ and his team especially the deputy president of the party whom the same person accused after his disciplinary hearing and lastly all those who are in the top six who were previously there whom he described as dwarfs,Malema will not be able to work with JZ and his team maybe he should wait after 2014 when his fellow comrades he favours can win top positions within the party so his way to be back to the ANC is still far,he is the one who was championing the divisions in the party and too making the nation to revolt against the president of the country by addressing miners in a bad faith and soldiers.Malema is no good to the party and the nation maybe he can be good in Limpopo where he has a support from government there under Cassel Mathale whom they want him back in the party that is why they even did not voted for JZ and his team in Mangaung.

That will be in 2017 where he has a chance of taken back if a top 6 associated with him is elected but who will need to associate himself or herself with him now. I don't see any future for mathale anymore in the government. It's over for most guys in the side of Motlhanthe faction. What will be done is what they would had done if they won. Kgalema had an exit strategy and he is gone.Report Abuse

Life is cold outside the ANC. How can Malema say he will behave appropriately in future when he was insulting Zuma and Mthembu months after his expulsion? He shot himself in the foot. Sorry boss, complete your degree and get a job or join DA.Report Abuse

You must be careful now mfana, a court house was mysteriously burnt with suspicion was to make the case of state vs you disappear only for the files to be faraway, now they may eliminate you as you are the weakest link. Those implicated will work against each other.Report Abuse
