ANC shouldn't hesitate to take action against ill-disciplined members - Malatji

JOHANNESBURG - African National Congress Youth League (ANCYL) President Collen Malatji says that the party should not hesitate to take action against ill-disciplined members, even if it risks losing support.

He made these remarks in response to concerns that the ANC should have never expelled former president Jacob Zuma, as his departure has affected the party's following.

Malatji, however, said it was unreasonable to retain members who continually harm the ANC's reputation.

"This organisation called the ANC must instil discipline. If it means we must be left alone and only with those who are disciplined, let us do that. We can’t harbour criminals, thugs and ill-disciplined people because we are scared of losing support. Those people who are ill-disciplined and don’t respect the ANC's logo and its constitution, they don't belong in the ANC.
