Speculation about Malema’s possible suspension

The disciplinary hearing Julius Malema has to face soon could lead to his suspension from the ANC. The Youth League leader was found guilty last year on a charge relating to a public attack on President Jacob Zuma.

The ANC national disciplinary committee said at the time that should Malema be found guilty of provoking serious divisions or a break-down of unity in the organisation within the next two years, his membership of the ANC would be suspended.

The ANC today charged Malema with various transgressions, including sowing divisions in the party.

ANC Youth League spokesperson Floyd Shivambu has also been charged, along with league president Julius Malema,

ANC spokesperson Keith Khoza said Shivambu had also been served with a charge sheet on Friday. The charges also related to bringing the ANC into disrepute and sowing divisions.

Shivambu could not immediately be reached for comment.
