malema's fate: down to the wire

7 minutes til announcement

THE ANC national disciplinary committee of appeals will today announce whether youth league leader Julius Malema’s appeal against his five-year suspension was successful.

Late yesterday the committee announced it would hold the briefing at the ANC head offices at Luthuli House. It comes in the middle of a five-day ANC national executive committee (NEC) meeting, which did not have the matter on its agenda.


If the appeals committee upholds the original verdict of suspension, Malema is immediately out in the political wilderness. At 30, a five-year suspension means he would not be able to return to the helm of the league, which terminates membership at age 35.
