Does anyone else find this a bit disturbing?

Malema is just trying to ressurect his political career on the back of civil unrest. He wants everything ungovernable so he can step in as facilitator/saviour and gain a foothold in the public eye again.

He's just displaying his and the ANC's true nature .. once a terrorist, always a terrorist.

It is not his democratic right to address the military, nor is it his democratic right to stir up hatred and the other crap he has been doing. If any of us tried it, we would have been arrested by now.

You are right it is not his democratic right, it is his human right. Everyone has the right to freedom of association

prisoners on parole ?

Yup. Still human and still have the right to freedom of association.

We all have the right to come together to express, comment on, and defend common interests.

Otherwise for example a prisoner on parole would not be permitted to join a labour union or something. That would just be stupid.

That of course doesn't mean that you can do it on company time and still expect to get paid or not have consequences, or that you can do it in a private area without permission or something.

One story I read mentioned him going to a military base.



I also find it very scary that an expelled member of the governing party is being allowed to address the military (whether they invited him or not)

I also assume that it was the rank and file that invited him, not the leadership.

In another country in another time you could call that the begging stages of a coup attempt

Right to expression and free speech, sure.

However, incitement to violence, sedition etc do not fall under the ambit of free speech.
 
Link? How did they let him do that? WTF why was he not arrested on the spot?

Agreed. Incitement to violence is not protected by free speech.

I didn't read the whole article honestly, just the quoted part. If incitement to violence is occurring then he can be locked up. Not locked up because of the association part though, just the violence part.

Yet parolees are prohibited from contact with other cons / ex-cons.

Like I said you are also not permitted to associate on someone's private land without their permission or to associate within work hours and still expect to keep your job.

You have rights but those rights do come with conditions.

Malema not being able to see folks that are in the military is not one of those conditions though.
 
Well as it turns out, these are not active Military personnel.

They are part of the 1100 personnel that were put on special leave due to being involved in the previous Military "strike"
 
what boggles my mind is that the ANC seems to be totally powerless to do anything about this twit, he's just showing them up as being the leaderless bunch of useless arse wipes that we all think they are, and they just keep feeding him the gaps that he needs...

he's probably the greatest example of a real live troll I've ever seen
