GangsterState: Disruption was thuggery and anti-intellectual, says Julius Malema
Johannesburg - EFF leader Julius Malema has labelled the disruption of the book launch of Gangster State as "thuggery" and "anti-intellectual".
He was commenting on Tuesday night’s disruption of the book launch of Gangster State; Unravelling Ace Magashule's Web of Capture at Exclusive Books in Sandton. The group were reported to have chanted "Ace Ace" as they caused a commotion at the store. The book is written by journalist Pieter Louis Myburgh and centres on Magashule's alleged corrupt activities while he was the premier of the Free State and the chairperson of the ANC in the province."To go into the extent of going into bookshops that is anti-intellectualism. It's anti-intellectuals who do such a thing.
"The new dawn is now burning books. It is the same new dawn that released a statement on Ace," said Malema.
