EFF leader Julius Malema’s comments regarding the Gupta family and its media
houses go against the Constitution and incited violence, the ANC said on
Thursday.
“The very same Constitution which allows him to be in Parliament,
he is violating it,” ANC national spokesman, Zizi Kodwa, said.
“We should condemn statements of the EFF with the contempt that
they deserve because they are likely to incite violence and bring hatred among
different groups,” said Kodwa.
Addressing the media in Joburg on Thursday, Malema said the Gupta
family, which is seen to have close ties to the ANC and some of its top leaders,
should leave the country.
He also told journalists who worked for Gupta-owned media, ANN7 and
The New Age, not to attend EFF events.
