The ANC Youth League is degusted by the continuation of lousy, spiteful and
mischievous reports of the City Press. The City Press' 2nd May 2010 reports
about the ANC Youth League are evidently witch-hunting stories, aimed at
portraying the ANC Youth League and its leadership as corrupt and only
concerned with self-enrichment. There is no truth to that, and the City
Press is aware.

On the front page story, Dumisani Lubisi, whom the ANC Youth League
previously exposed for shady business dealings, writes about Minutes and
issues of the ANC Youth League's Lembede Investment Holdings as if it is
investigative Journalism. Dumisani Lubisi stole and misread Minutes and
documents of Lembede Investment Holdings from his wife, whom the ANC YL
courteously appointed to the Board of Lembede Investment Holdings as part of
the people who should oversee its disbandment. Dumisani Lubisi does not
realise that stealing confidential information from his wife will compromise
her future Career and professional engagements because those who would want
to work with her will be reminded of a lousy Journalist husband who steals
information and presents it as valid information and investigative
Journalism to lousy Newspapers.

Contrary to the pillow-talk Journalism of Dumisani Lubisi and the City
Press, the ANC Youth League is not involved in any business dealings. The
ANC YL is instead awaiting the finalisation of a report that is
systematically unbundling Lembede Investment Holdings. If Dumisani Lubisi
had stolen and read all the records and information of Lembede Investment
Holdings, he would have discovered from the official records that a
due-diligence report has already been presented to the Board of Lembede
Investment Holdings and an ad-hoc committee to dispose of all its assets
constituted.

In the same Newspaper, another obsessed Journalist called Piet Rampedi
writes a story that deliberately lies about the ANC Youth League's landing
of a printing contract in Limpopo. Piet Rampedi, Ferial Hafajjee and the
entire City Press editorial is aware that Ali Boshielo is not a member of
the ANC Youth League National Executive Committee, but because they want to
cast aspersions on the ANC YL, they calculatedly announce him as a member of
the ANC YL National Executive Committee. In more than one occasion, Piet
Rampedi has been told and he knows very well that Ali Boshielo is not a
member of the ANC YL NEC, and information about who members of the ANC Youth
League NEC are is easily accessible.

To illustrate that the lousy City Press desperately wanted to link the ANC
YL to a printing contract in Limpopo, they did not contact the ANC YL for an
official response and reaction to the accusations they wanted to spread. We
will continue to expose the crooks and lousy Journalists of the City Press,
who have remade the Newspaper in order to continue spreading lies about our
organisation. The ANC YL will take all the necessary legal steps to ensure
that all sorts of chance-takers and crooks posing as Editors and Journalists
are exposed.
