FF+ suspends youth leader

Van Rensburg disciplined for criticising Pieter Mulder's decision to join cabinet

FF PLUS EXECUTIVE MANAGEMENT DECISION: CORNELIUS JANSEN VAN RENSBURG

As a result of a media release which was sent out on 10 May 2009 by Mr. Cornelius Jansen van Rensburg, the FF Plus' national Youth Leader and in which he made certain allegations against the Leader of the FF Plus, the Executive Management of the FF Plus today decided to temporarily suspend the membership of Mr. Cornelius Jansen van Rensburg, in accordance with the Constitution of the FF Plus, pending an investigation by the party's Federal Legal Committee.

The FF Plus is not prepared to tolerate any ill-discipline of this nature.

The flood of support which we have received from across the whole of South Africa for the decision which the Executive Management of the FF Plus had taken that Dr. Pieter Mulder, the Leader of the FF Plus, should take up the position of Deputy Minister of Agricultural Affairs, is overwhelming.

The FF Plus will not deviate from its principles and wishes Dr. Mulder strength for his task in Cabinet.

Statement issued by Mr. Abrie Oosthuizen, Freedom Front Plus Chairperson, May 11 2009
