The African National
Congress (ANC) finds the insinuations made by the DA and the ID regarding
the security threats to the African National Congress Youth League (ANCYL)
President, Julius Malema, outrageous and insensitive. Their response
clearly indicates their moral bankruptcy. We would have expected any South
African to be worried about any threats to any other person, including cde
Julius.

Instead of the DA and the ID being worried, as we are, they
dismiss these threats without even giving a thought to their seriousness and
therefore to the harm that may befell cde Julius Malema. Their conduct and
response on this matter is disgraceful.

It is unthinkable that these
opposition parties could equate the security threat towards cde Julius as a
"status thing" and government response as "waste of resources". Prominent
leaders of political parties are entitled to VIP protection as and when
their personal lives are under threat. This has been a common practice
since 1994.

This cheap politicking by these parties shows that their
judgment is clouded by a deep seated hatred for Cde Malema.
