Motlanthe is being hypocritical - ANCYL leader
Johannesburg - The ANC Youth League has hit out at former deputy president Kgalema Motlanthe's comments that President Jacob Zuma should explain why he fired Nhlanhla Nene as finance minister.
"President Zuma and the National Working Committee (NWC) of the ANC have clarified to the nation about what happened," ANCYL President Collen Maine told News24.
"So we don't expect Mr Motlanthe to still be looking for an explanation, after we have given that explanation."
Maine was commenting on Motlanthe's recent interview with Al Jazeera, where he urged Zuma to come clean to the country and explain the reasons why he decided to axe Nene.
Speaking to the broadcaster's Azad Essa, Motlanthe said: "All of this has happened so quickly, it leaves you completely stunned as to what to make of it.
