GOING FOR THE “KILL” OR “BE KILLED”

MALEMA AND “KETHIWE” SPEAKS TRUTH TO POWER

Masethe Tshepo
People of all backgrounds said a lot about the newly elected President of the ANC, Cde Julius Malema. “Julius Malema is disrespectful”. “Julius Malema is not fit to lead”. “Julius Malema does not represent the views of youth.“ “Julius Malema speaks out of turn.” “Malema is a mouthpiece of others. If you kick Malema his handlers will appear”. “Cde Zuma should reprimand militant Malema ”
This, in the main, intensified after Cde Malema spoke of “killing for Cde Zuma” during a recent Youth Rally addressed jointly with the ANC President, Cde JZ.
Now see this against the IFP-“Khethiwe” debacle, the position of the IFP on the matter and make up your own conclusion in answer to questions such as what really prompted or gave Ms. Ntshaba the confidence to say what she said in front of the IFP leadership and why her.
The ANC said in a statement:
“The ANC in KwaZulu-Natal is outraged by spurious utterances attributed to the actress of SABC's Generations soapie.”
“Ms Winnie Ntshaba known as Khethiwe in the soapie, told an IFP gathering in Durban that "the ANC tried to get rid of IFP leader Mangosuthu Buthelezi."
She was further quoted as having said "We know what the ruling party does to people who oppose them. They kill them"
“The ANC rejects these utterances in strongest terms. We regard this statement as an indictment to the ANC since it portrays the party as thriving on killing its opponents. Ms Ntshaba must urgently produce the list of people who have been killed by the ANC since the birth of democracy in 1994.”
“The ANC wants to know the position of the IFP on this statement by Ntshaba since it coincides with the letter written by the IFP to the ANC late last year. In the letter the IFP alleged that there was a senior leader of the ANC that was co-ordinating the pending assassinations of IFP leaders.”
“Since Ntshaba is a prominent actress in the national SABC television soapie, Generations, the ANC wants to know the view of the public broadcaster and the producer of the soapie on this damaging statement by their staff member.”
“The ANC will be consulting its lawyers with an aim of suing Ms Ntshaba for her outrageous utterances defaming the ANC”.
