“The president of the country, Cyril Ramaphosa, responding to the issue of unemployment, employed a minister of employment who is becoming a minister of unemployment. That minister is not responding to the practical issues the youth wants to speak about.”Responding to Malatji’s remarks, the party said in a statement that it did not encourage insults towards party members.Mbalula, however, defended the youth league and said it was a “necessary irritation” that should not be censored.
“What is important is that they advance their argument. Sacco fights bigger battles in the campuses of Nsfas and make comrade Blade [Nzimande] sweat. “Ideas are not about insults, it is about the revolution to say to that comrade, ‘you are selling out the revolution for the following reasons’. We do not expect our youth to always be on the right path, but we have got to share with them our experiences of the past. We can not suppress them because decency is necessary,” Mbalula said.“All that we were raising as the ANC is that there is no need to attack a comrade personally.
