GangsterState: Mthembu calls for 'thugs' to be disciplined by ANC and arrested
Johannesburg - ANC chief whip Jackson Mthembu says the “thugs” that disrupted the book launch of Gangster State; Unravelling Ace Magashule's Web of Capture on Tuesday night should be arrested. "We must all, as members of the ANC, defend our glorious movement against these thugs and criminals. We must defend the rights of the author and publisher as enshrined in our Constitution.
"I will be mobilizing @MYANC to urgently bring those involved in the disruption of the #GangsterState #AceMagashule book launch before a disciplinary committee. Those thugs have brought the ANC name into disrepute. They have trashed our hard worn democracy," said Mthembu. The organisation issued a quick statement on Tuesday night, hours after the launch was disrupted, saying that the group of people who wore ANC T-shirts did not disrupt the launch in the name of the ANC or Magashule.
