ANC secretary general Gwede Mantashe says the party is "deeply embarrassed" by the Youth League comments on about DA leader Helen Zille and her provincial cabinet.
This is a change of tune from Mantashe, who yesterday told trade unionists that they should now regard Zille as public enemy No1.
“She has elevated her role from that of opposition to that of the enemy — an offer from the DA that we must accept,” The Times quoted Mantashe as saying.
However, in today’s statement, Mantashe said: "Zille’s statements earlier in the week about President Jacob Zuma were indeed reprehensible and, quite correctly, were roundly condemned. She justly deserves criticism for the unrepresentative composition of her cabinet.
"But this does not justify the comments by the ANC Youth League. These comments are deeply embarrassing to the ANC, and reflect a marked departure from the ANC’s approach to political engagement."
IN THEIR OWN WORDS - THIS IS THE STATEMENT ISSUED YESTERDAY BY THE ANC YOUTH LEAGUE
HELEN ZILLE CONTNUES TO EXCEL AS NUMBER ONE RACIST AND DESTRACTOR OF GENDER STRUGGLES:
12 May 2009
The ANC YL is disgusted by remarks attributed to the racist girl Helen Zille, who when failing to defend her stupid and sexist decision to appoint predominantly white males into her cabinet, attacks the President of the Republic of South Africa. The ANC YL calls on Helen Zille to respect the office of the President of the Republic of South Africa and stop making stupid and degrading remarks against President Jacob Zuma.
Zille has appointed an all male cabinet of useless people, majority of whom are her boyfriends and concubines so that she can continue to sleep around with them, yet she claims to have the moral authority to question our President.
If the fake racist girl Zille continues to speak hogwash like she has been doing during elections, we will take militant action against her, and demonstrate to her that she does not have monopoly over the Western Cape.
The fake racist girl who was dropped on a head as child should understand that South Africa will never be a Mickey-mouse Republic like she wants to portray it. An absolute majority of South Africans support President Jacob Zuma and will find it very disgusting for a fake racist apartheid agent to continue undermining the highest office in South Africa.
