ANC secretary-general Fikile Mbalula has defended youth league president Collen Malatji after the youth leader took a dig at employment and labour minister Thulas Nxesi.
Mbalula said the youth should not be kept quiet but there was no need to attack party members personally.
“We do not believe the youth league is incorrect and it is why we said it is regrettable to call a comrade a yellow communist and isolate him from the pack and attack him. In a statement, the ANC noted Malatji's comments, saying it does not encourage insults towards party members.
