Amid economic hardships and human sufferings in Zimbabwe, ANC Youth League president Fikile Mbalula says he loves President Robert Mugabe for a job well done.
He said this to hundreds of the league supporters at a rally in Klerksdorp, North West when introducing the youth leader of Zanu-PF, Richard Bvukumbwe.
"You must go back and tell Mugabe that we love what he is doing for the people of Zimbabwe. He is doing a good work. You must tell him that we love him. We love him for redistributing the wealth and land to the people," Mbalula said at the celebration rally of the league's 62nd anniversary.
Bvukumbwe also thanked the audience for support they were giving to the people of Zimbabwe.
He was one of the youth leaders from the SADC region who were hosted by the league for a political seminar at the ANC's headquarters.
Bvukumbwe received tumultuous applause.
Mbalula reiterated the league's support for ANC deputy president Jacob Zuma and slammed what he termed media-made leaders.
"We don't want people who come to the ANC to fatten their stomachs... We don't want people who come to the ANC to nurture their careers.
"We must ensure that we are not an organisation of people and leaders who are elected by newspapers," Mbalula said.
He dismissed cynics who said Zuma was on a campaign trail ahead of the ANC's congress next year, saying that was a "figment of their hallucination".
But Zuma sounded like someone on a campaigning mission on Sunday, telling supporters that the ANC Youth League must determine the succession in the ANC because they had in the past influenced the process to ensure that President Thabo Mbeki becomes president of the ruling party and the country.
He also questioned those who admonished the league for publicly endorsing him as Mbeki's successor. from IOL
yes, it actually isn't a joke but it beats crying
