The latest chapter in President Jacob Zuma's sex life should now be closed, the African National Congress Youth League (ANCYL) said on Thursday.

"The ANC Youth League welcomes the statement of the ANC and country's President Jacob Zuma on his issues that really are private.

"We believe that the media will not continue with the sensationalism around the whole issue," the ANCYL said in a statement.

"The ANCYL will not be agreeing to discuss private issues of elders in the public discourse, and hope that it is now a closed chapter."

The youth league was responding to Zuma admitting on Wednesday that he had indeed fathered a love child with Sonono Khoza, the daughter of soccer boss Irvin Khoza.

Zuma said he had already paid the family "damages".

The ANCYL said it would no longer entertain any discussion in the media around the matter.

"In line with what is said above, the ANCYL will not take any media enquiries concerning the private life of the president of the ANC and country, whom we hold in high regard, and applauds his unquestionable commitment to bettering livelihoods of all people.

"The chapter is closed."
