Today, the ANC NDC made known their ruling to suspend Julius Malema, Floyd Shibamvu & three other members of the Youth League National Executive, which effectively ends the Malema Dilemma, as Julius Malema will not even be an ANC member at the next elections, thereby preventing him from seeking re-election to the Youth League Presidency.
However, he has appealed against the decision, but it is unlikely that the ANC NDC will overturn it's own ruling and this means that Malema's career in the ANC is over. The only options that he has left are to form his own Youth Party to contest the upcoming elections against the ANC or to have the decision declared nul and void.
The Youth League leadership has voiced its outrage and hundreds protested angrily on the UNISA Campus in Polokwane, South Africa, where he was writing his belated Matric (High School Certificate). There have been many comments as to whether he will even pass his Matric this time round, as he has not attended any lectures, claiming that the Faculty "must take into consideration his obligations to the ANC Youth League, which are a higher priority to the nation".
The Youth League spokesperson, Floyd Shibamvu, has dismissed the NDC ruling as "an illegitimate judgement by ingrates to interfere in the activities of the Youth League", to which one political analyst commented that "at least Mr Shibamvu has studied the vocabulary section of the Matric English syllabus. However, the South African Media has expressed concern about Floyd Shibamvu's comments that "the oppressed youth of this nation will rise up against the anti-revolutionary elements within the ANC and make the country ungovernable". When further asked for an explanation, Floyd said, "We will protest in the streets and liberate the African Youth from their Capitolist Overlords. We will deal with Jacob Zuma and his cronies in the same way as the Libyans dealt with Qhadaffi and we'll dispose of all our enemies in the same way as Qhadaffi".
This has sparked worries of civil unrest, as memories of the Youth League riots outside Luthuli House in Johannesburg resurface and some people have spoken out about fears of random attacks on Europeans in general and Mining or industrial companies in the near future...
