HOLD ON TO POWER OR KILL TRYING....MALEMA REVOLUTION

Malema is going the way of Mbeki

Tumelo Mafuku, Midrand: " Once upon a time in a distant land there was a horrible leader named Thabo Mbeki." This will be the story about Julius Malema in a few months' time.

ANCYL elective conference postponed

We know Mbeki was not really that bad but that his manipulative style of leadership sank him. His style of leadership was much criticised by Malema as he rose to the ANC Youth League throne.

Those who wanted Mbeki out, including Malema, alleged that he was autocratic and squashed those who opposed him.

Barely three years after the demise of Mbeki, we see a similar leader in the youth league - the hypocritical Malema.

It is not the first time we have seen purges and power drunkenness. COPE is suffering from the same disease, as the ANC once did.

Malema must understand that contaminated democracy has a way of cleansing itself. He must remember what happened at Polokwane.

The expulsion from the youth league of Lehlohonolo Masoga and Stella Ndabeni is a strategic move to try to hang on to something that is almost gone: Malema's leadership.

The possibility of a purge of Andile Lungisa signals a desperate attempt to eliminate competition.

All these moves will only strengthen Malema's opposition.

To all youth league members who want to remain in the organisation, just be silent and use the ballot to boot this mampara out once and for all.

He has failed to inspire the youth, instead incensing them with his vulgarity and political insensitivity.

The league will be around long after Malema and his ilk are gone.

WHAT IS NEXT FOR MALEMA IF HE LOSES GRIP ON POWER?????
