The ANC Youth League condemns the disgusting decision of the Sowetan and Avusa of terminating Eric Miyeni’s column for speaking his mind openly and frankly. The Sowetan, like all the reactionary newspapers is showing a level of inconsistency on their application of freedom of speech as enshrined in the Constitution.

The decision to terminate Eric Miyeni’s contract is clearly not an independent decision, but influenced by the right-wing elements who determine the direction of the Sowetan. If the Sowetan found the column by Eric Miyeni inappropriate, why did they publish it in their newspaper? Why is itthat when its leaders of the ANC who are questioned by anti-ANC, racist, and narrow analysts, the Sowetan does not terminate their columns?

The ANC YL will soon seek a meeting with those who terminated the Column to get an explanation on their application of principles, because they are simply out of line and abominable.
