Cdes,

The media ran with the story that Julius Malema has attacked Jacob Zuma
during YL's regional congress in Limpopo. Julius is said to have complained
about the decisions that were taken by South African government on Libya. It
is known that many South Africans were quite angry with how government
handled the matter. I am not so much worried about the media reports, but I
am worried that it seems that as ANC and SACP members we are not allowed to
criticise government. It is suprising that media picked up what Julius said
but fail to pick up SASCO's complains about Higher Education and Training
Department. Does this means that some are allowed to criticise government
and while the rest of us are forced to keep quite when government make
mistakes.

If Julius did indead criticise government on its stance on Libya, then he
had every right to do it. If he believes that it was wrong to please the
West at the expense of other Africans then I see nothing wrong with him
criticising government. Unless if others want to turn all of us into a bunch
of yes-men and women.

The same why Julius tolerated criticing directed at him over
nationalisation, I believe it is time others do the same when he criticise
their positions on matters that affect South Africa.

Amndla Juju!
