'Tell your family members that Jacob Zuma is worse than the DA'

CAPE TOWN - The African National Congress Youth League (ANCYL) has joined the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) in labeling the uMkhonto weSizwe (MK) Party as an enemy.

The league's president, Collen Malatji, said that the organisation held no progressive value, describing it as a counter revolutionary.

Malatji made these remarks during the ANCYL's Peter Mokaba Memorial Lecture in Khayelitsha, Cape Town, on Friday afternoon.

The ANCYL president questioned why MK Party supporters would throw their behind a man whom he described as a thief.

"Today, there is a man there in Nkandla who thinks we have forgotten that he stole from the poor of the poorest and moves around like a messiah, going around collecting money like an apartheid operative."

He said that former President Jacob Zuma was enemy number one.

"When you go home, you must tell your family members that Jacob Zuma is worse than the DA because he operatives like us, and moves like us but he's a real counter-revolutionary."

Meanwhile, Zuma is still attempting to be reinstated as an ANC member following his expulsion last year.
