ANCYL to study Lamont judgment

League to consult with fraternal organisations over banning of song

ANC YOUTH LEAGUE STATEMENT ON THE EQUALITY COURT JUDGMENT DELIVERED ON THE 12th OF SEPTEMBER 2011:

The ANC Youth League notes the Equality Court judgment delivered by Judge Collins Lamont at the Johannesburg High Court on the 12th of September 2011. The ANC Youth League will study the judgment and consult with the ANC and other fraternal organisations because the songs banned by the judgment are songs of the ANC-led National Liberation Movement.

Because we are studying the judgment and consulting with the leadership of the ANC and fraternal organisations, we will not take media enquiries concerning the details of the judgment of the Equality Court. We hope that all members of the media will respect the decision we have taken.

Statement issued by the ANC Youth League, September 12 2011
