THE ANC DISTANCES ITSELF FROM OWNING A NIGHTCLUB
The African National Congress (ANC) distances itself from sentiments allegedly attributed to the ANC Youth League President, Cde Julius Malema that, "Helen Zille is trying to close all the clubs in Cape Town, but this one belongs to the ANC", as contained in today's (31 January 2011), media reports.
The ANC would like to state it categorically clear that it has no interest in running a nightclub or in endorsing its owners. The ANC is not into nightclubs or partying, but it is a revolutionary movement.
We furthermore reiterate our condemnation to the act of serving sushi on a woman's body, as this act is anti-ANC and anti-revolutionary. This act is defamatory, insensitive and undermining of woman's integrity.
We therefore appeal to all those involved in this act to immediately disengage from it.
Statement issued by Gwede Mantashe. ANC Secretary General, January 31 2011
