 ANCYL members dance in support of Malema Johannesburg - ANC Youth League members blew vuvuzelas and danced in the streets of Johannesburg on Monday night in support of the league's president Julius Malema. "The cowards are scared...we must shoot... shoot with a gun," more than 70 ANCYL members sang as they marched to the ANC's Luthuli House headquarters. Some carried placards denouncing everything from capitalism and Vodacom to Botswana's president Ian Khama. "We say no to a military base in our continent that is under US control. Ian Khama - the puppet - an insult to Africa. Viva Julius Malema," read a placard. The group burned a Vodacom T-shirt and danced around it. "We must be disciplined," one of the members said as the group blocked traffic at a robot. The ANC announced last week that Malema and ANCYL spokesperson Floyd Shivambu would face disciplinary hearings on charges of bringing the party into disrepute and sowing division. Malema recently said that the ANCYL would send a team to Botswana to consolidate local opposition parties and help bring about regime change, as it believed the government there was "in full co-operation with imperialists" and was undermining the "African agenda". More than 200 police officers were deployed around Luthuli House on Monday night. Roads around the building were closed to traffic. The disciplinary hearings are scheduled to take place on Tuesday and Wednesday. Police outside Luthuli House said roads would be closed all Monday night and possibly the whole of Tuesday. - SAPA -- You are subscribed. This footer can help you.
