ANCYL website compromised with strange message
Many ANC Youth League (ANCYL) visitors were surprised today when the message “Julius Malema to Step Down as Youth League President” featured as the main story.
The news article, posted by the “{Blah Blah} Protest group” in the form of a letter by ANCYL president Julius Malema, stated that “After much thought I Julius Malema have decided to step down as ANC Youth league President”.
The reasons, the article stated, included that Malema “brought my party the ANC in to disrepute, disrespected my elders and have made a fool out of myself, promote Nationalization even though I have no concept of how it works or its backlash to the economy.”
The article continued saying that “I promote my own agenda over my country’s and parties, I promote the singing of racist songs to promote violence and un-rest in the country and I do not consider youth issues”.
In response to questions about the alleged hacking of the website, youth league spokeswoman Magdelene Moonsamy said: “There is nothing that we are aware of at this point and there is nothing on our website. We do not have time for things like this.”
Unwembi, the company which designed, developed and maintain the ANCYL website, said that they were aware of the problem and looked into it. At the time they could not confirm that the website was hacked.
The ANCYL website was taken down for a short period of time, and the article was subsequently deleted.
