Julius Malema says although he has never had a personal relationship with President Jacob Zuma and does not want one, there is no bad blood between them.
The ANC Youth League leader spoke to reporters ahead of his disciplinary hearing at Luthuli House in Johannesburg today. Malema revealed that senior advocate and ANC member Patric Mtshaulana will represent him at the hearing.
A group of supporters held a night vigil at the nearby Beyers Naudé Square last night, but the thousands of young people who were expected to support Malema, did not pitch up.
Both Zuma and his deputy, Kgalema Motlanthe, will be out of the country during this week’s hearings of the Youth League’s top structure.
Zuma is on a state visit to Norway, while Motlanthe departs today on a working visit to Guinea Bissau. Justice Minister Jeff Radebe is acting president.
ANC secretary general Gwede Mantashe is expected to lead the hearing.
