Final Kathrada memorial marred by ANCYL disruptions
Durban – The final memorial for struggle icon Ahmed Kathrada in Durban was marred by interruptions and outbursts from the ANC Youth League in KwaZulu-Natal on Sunday.
There was a strong police presence at the event after a court decision ruled that the ANCYL would be able to attend the memorial. The conditions of them attending included not inciting violence, intimidation or causing any disruptions.
Youth League members bustled into Sastri College where large numbers of people attended the final memorial for "Uncle Kathy," as Kathrada also was know.
Members of the youth league brandished T-shirts with President Jacob Zuma’s face on and placards in support of the Cabinet reshuffle.
Kathrada openly criticised Zuma’s leadership, even posthumously barring him from attending his memorial.
