ANCYL: Statement by the Floyd Shivambu, spokesperson of the African National Congress Youth League, on Pierre de Vos’s analysis of the Equaluty Court judgment against Julius Malema (16/03/2010)
The African National Congress Youth League totally agrees with Constitutional Law Expert Pierre De Vos on the Judgment handed down by the Johannesburg Equality Court on the alleged hate speech compliant brought by SONKE Gender Network. De Vos was quoted by the Citizen edition of the 16thof March 2010 that the ruling by the Equality Court did not illustrate ANC Youth League President's intention to incite hurt on rape victims or women victims.
Unlike misguided elements, the ANC Youth League believes that this observation is sober and constitutes part of the reasons why the President of the ANC Youth League will appeal the ruling with a higher court. In more than one occasion, ANC Youth League President has expressed consistent with values of the ANC YL, his total commitment to the emancipation of women from class, national and gender oppression. The ANC Youth League and its entire leadership respect South Africa's legal and judicial systems and processes and will work within these institutions and processes to ensure that proper interpretation is given to the country's laws.
