Julius Malema's statement that it would embarrass South Africa if our president was prosecuted, is another instance of him putting blind loyalty before the rule of law.

Julius Malema's statement that it would embarrass South Africa if our president was prosecuted, is another instance of him putting blind loyalty before the rule of law.

The real embarrassment to South Africa is the fact that the ANC is putting up a presidential candidate who faces 783 alleged counts of corruption.

Jacob Zuma has consistently called for his day in court, and yet the delaying tactics that are employed by his lawyers are certainly not in accordance with what their client demanded.

If Malema's statements really do reflect the views of young ANC members, then the rule of law is under serious threat in South Africa.

The DA Youth is ready to stand up for those young South Africans who value the rule of law.
