ANCYL &#039;disgusted by insane Afrikaner&#039;     June 08 2010 at 03:22PM


The African National Congress Youth League is disgusted by &quot;the insanity&quot; of &quot;some&quot; Afrikaner farmer who had reportedly lodged a genocide charge against its leader Julius Malema at the International Criminal Court.

&quot;The ANCYL is disgusted by the attention seeking sentiments and insanity of some Afrikaner farmer from Rustenburg who has reportedly lodged a complaint with the International Criminals Court about the singing of liberation songs in South Africa&#039;s ANC-led liberation movement,&quot; the league said in a statement.

The ANCYL said the laying of the charges was an attempt by right-wing elements to divert it from its main political programmes.

&quot;The issue of liberation songs is currently before South African courts, which have issued an interim interdict on the singing of some of the liberation songs until the ANC has successfully defended its struggle and liberation songs and heritage.&quot;

The league said it had never engaged in any criminal activity because it was aware that this would undermine the freedom its &quot;forbearers&quot; had fought for with their lives.

&quot;If there are people who committed genocide against our people, it is the Afrikaners who slaughtered many freedom fighters and innocent South Africans to protect the racist apartheid regime for many years and we have forgiven them for that.

&quot;The reported complaint with the International Criminals Court has only come to our attention through media reports, and no communication has been sent to us by the ICC.

&quot;We are more than sure that the ICC will never entertain some Afrikaner&#039;s stupidity and insecurities, and should instead focus on prosecution of imperialist sponsored wars that continue to happen in the world.&quot;

The league said as a matter of principle, it was encouraging all South Africans to beware of right-wing agent provocateurs, &quot;most of who are beneficiaries of a racist murderous apartheid regime&quot;.

&quot;They recurrently abuse the rights fought for by the liberation movement in order to divert our attention from serious issues of economic emancipation of the black majority and Africans in particular. We are never shaken.&quot;

According to Beeld newspaper, an unidentified Rustenburg farmer and his family left South Africa last week for safety fears after deciding to lay the charge against Malema.

Their lawyer, Fanie van der Walt, said the accusations against Malema were sent in writing to the International Criminal Court in the Netherlands on Monday.

The charges relate to Malema singing &quot;shoot the boer&quot;, which the Rustenburg farmer interpreted as inciting youth league supporters to commit genocide against Afrikaans boers.

Shortly after being rebuked by the ANC, Malema changed the words to &quot;kiss the boer&quot;. - Sapa</description>

		<description>@ Gwebe,

hahahaha - someone has borrowed from you!

&quot;The handful of ANC MPs who attended the briefing were lavish in their praise for Malema.

&quot;The president has spoken,&quot; said one MP.

&quot;We are very happy to have such a wonderful ANC Youth League,&quot; said a second.

A third MP added to the praise: &quot;You have got a very sharp mind. I think you are going to get us out of poverty. I hope you keep it up.&quot;

That is sheer criminality.

Let&#039;s hope that the ANC takes action - those are people who need to be expelled.

Maybe Juju can show some leadership skills - now is the time, the time is now!</description>

		<description>BACK TO BASICS

Obama after his election started with the cutting of salaries of top civil servants in the Whites and also challenged private sector especially financial sector to do the same. Cameron in UK ran on a ticket of cutting top civil servants salaries by 5% and yesterday Spain has also indicated on cutting senior civil servants salaries by 5%. More governments in the Eurozone especially the PIGS(Portugal, Ireland, Greece, Spain) are implementing cuts in public expenditure and that should hurt the demand of SA products in Eurozone. The recent decline of JSE and our jobless growth should be sending warning signs to those in charge.

The reluctance to review the Ministers Handbook of the famous 750i BMW and the sheer arrogance of avoiding glaring conflicts of interests amongst public officials and bribe masters will decide our future if left unchallenged. Politicians seem to be the only group that gives birth to new shareholders or Tenderpreneurs.

Our salaries of Public Officials were increased by 7 % despite warnings from only one man, Pravin Gordhan and as if this was not enough, these positions are a matter of life and death by those who want to get close to the tenders. The Planning Commission, Parastatal Review Committee, BEE Council, M&amp;E unit and others may not save us from what might be on our horizon.

The full throttle on feel good parties (World Cup) and other wasteful expenditures rather than much needed infrastructure such as housing, roads, hospitals and schools is regrettable

How wish we would want to be ranked amongst the best on Education and Health with an equal or more effort than 2010.</description>
