Earlier this year, the ANCYL’s national executive committee insisted that Julius Malema would stay their president until their next elective conference in 2014. As it turns out, they were bluffing when earlier today they fired Juju from his position.

The sudden change of plans were brought on due to the fact that Malema continued to “insult the movement and the ANC leadership which was unacceptable”, according to provincial deputy chairperson Simon Molefe. He was speaking to journalists earlier this afternoon in Johannesburg.

Mr Malema is no longer president and we want the ANCYL to move on. The deputy president [Ronald Lamola] is acting president and we want the NEC [national executive committee] to implement that.”

There is currently no response from Julius Malema regarding the news at this stage.
