Cde Floyd your attitude shows arrogance and you are rude and racist, why label the journalist as afrikaner, are you not the custodian of the constitution of the ANCYL which is derived from the ANC constitution. Chief you can not earn respect by disrepecting others, our organisation was built on the pillars of non racialism, non sexism, unity and democracy, is it what you are painting by your comment, please cadre do us a favour dont treat our organisation like that, being elected in conferences doesnt mean you are more powerful than others or more clever, respect us and the etire South African population.
Hope this will put some thinking in your brain. Amandla.
