Zuma reprimands the ANC Youth League

President Jacob Zuma has reprimanded the African National Congress Youth League for its attacks on senior party leaders.

In the party newsletter, Zuma expresses full support for ANC secretary general Gwede Mantashe, despite threats by the Youth League that he would lose his position.

Zuma says an attack on the secretary general hits at the belly of the ANC and will not be tolerated.

Zuma also singles out Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan, described by the Youth League as “un-elected”. He says if a minister is attacked, it is an indirect attack on the President, who appointed that minister.
