Now we know that the ANC fully support Malema, nice to know where we are headed.

Julius Malema has regained the upper hand in the ANC Youth League's power struggle following Luthuli House's intervention to restore discipline within the fractured league.
Now Malema sits comfortably with the majority of the league's provincial executive committees firmly behind him.
The outcome of the ANC task team's meetings with the rebellious Limpopo and Eastern Cape leaders was a blow to Malema detractors.
The team - led by Deputy President Kgalema Motlanthe - boosted Malema's confidence when it forced the renegade provinces to accept the youth leader's authority. Motlanthe's team was appointed by the ANC's national working committee following deteriorating relations within the league.

The team also included Sports Minister Makhenkesi Stofile, ANC deputy secretary-general Thandi Modise and deputy ministers Fikile Mbalula of Police and Dina Pule of Communications.
Limpopo youth leader Lehlogonolo Masoga was told to stop running a parallel structure in that province. The team also warned Masoga to refrain from running to the courts and instead appeal his expulsion from within the league's structures. He was expelled by the league for "sowing divisions".
The last blow to Masoga was the task team's endorsement of the disputed Limpopo provincial leadership led by Malema ally Frans Moswane.
Masoga and his comrades have always argued that Moswane was illegitimately elected at the provincial conference in Makhado in March.
Eastern Cape youth leaders were also in for a dressing down, with Stofile leading the assault.
Apparently Stofile - former Eastern Cape ANC provincial chairman - told the youth leaders that a court challenge over disbandment was unheard of in the ANC.
They were told to accept their disbandment, despite a high court ruling reinstating them.
After being read the riot act, it is unlikely any rebellious structure will turn to the courts to challenge Malema. The ANC has reiterated that anyone who takes the party or its structures to court will be expelled, without a hearing.
The much anticipated Eastern Cape provincial conference - which failed to sit after three attempts - is expected to be held next weekend. Youth league spokesman Floyd Shivambu refused to comment on the outcome of the task team's meeting with the provinces.
Shivambu said Luthuli House will make an announcement of the date for the Eastern Cape conference.
A buoyant Malema was in Bloemfontein on Saturday where he addressed the provincial conference of the Free State. His allies are favourites to emerge as the new leadership.
With the Free State on board, Malema also enjoys the backing of the provincial executive committees in Mpumalanga, KwaZulu-Natal, Limpopo and North Wes
