FUNDAMENTAL QUESTIONS ABOUT THE INVOLVEMENT OF BIG BUSINESS AND AFRIKANER RIGHT WING CAPITAL IN THE SMEAR CAMPAIGN OF PRESIDENT JULIUS MALEMA-WE WANT TO KNOW.
The ANC Youth League issued an official response on the allegations of a secret fund on Monday, the 25th of July 2011. We however have fundamental questions which should still be responded to by those concerned and how we got to be where we are today.
On Tuesday, the 26th of July, the Master of High Court officially dismissed claims that the Ratanang Trust Fund is a ‘secret fund'. As to why the Johannesburg High Court allowed the City Press to lie to its readers that the Trust Fund is a ‘secret fund' escapes our imagination.
The Rupert family, which has funded apartheid government since the 1940s and which is the majority shareholder of the Afrikaner dominated and controlled Naspers Group (100% white male senior Management) owns Media24. Media24 owns and controls the following publications-Rapport, Die Beeld and City Press, Daily Sun newspapers, and all these publications replicate the apartheid ideology of white supremacy and portray black people as corrupt or superstitious human beings with no potential to develop and engage in conscious social, political and economic issues confronting South Africa.
The ANC Youth League would like to ask the following questions:
1. Is the Rupert family, shareholders of the Naspers Group, Fred Phaswane and Prof Jake Gerwel approving of the manner in which their paper is used to fight political battles?
