ANC closes rank over Malema
May 3, 2010 1:10 PM | By Sapa
The ANC closed ranks on ANC Youth League president Julius Malema's reported disciplinary hearing on Monday, refusing to confirm or deny that it was taking place.
Weekend reports quoted national executive committee member Derek Hanekom, as saying that Malema had been served notice of the hearing for Monday, and was expected to attend.
However, party spokesman Brian Sokutu said that nothing would be said about the "matter" -- not even to say that Hanekom had been inaccurately quoted on the existence of the hearing.
"If necessary a statement would be issued at a later date".
"We're not going to be commenting any further on this matter. It is an internal ANC matter, resolved within the structures of the ANC."
