Booing against president Zuma was planned
East London - ANC Youth League president Collen Maine said the booing by supporters against President Jacob Zuma was planned.
Speaking to News24 shortly after the January 8 statement by party president Cyril Ramaphosa, Maine accused some within the party of orchestrating the hackles.
"I don't know who planned that because things are not spontaneous it means it's planned but whatever it seeks to achieve it won't achieve it."
President Zuma was humiliated by party supporters who continuously heckled him while cheering for Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta during the event.
On two occasions Ramaphosa and party chairperson Gwede Mantashe had to intervene in an attempt to restore order at the packed stadium.
