New Malemas Will Emerge - SAIRR

The South African Institute of Race Relations (SAIRR) says that it would be a mistake to see the suspension of African National Congress Youth League (ANCYL) president Julius Malema as the end of political radicalism.

SAIRR spokesperson, Catherine Schulze, points out that, "Inevitably, if the country is not able to sustain significantly higher levels of economic growth, new Malemas will come to the fore either inside or outside the ANC."

Schulze states that a country with South Africa's inequalities will always be a breeding ground for political radicalism, adding that SAIRR believed the ruling against Malema was ‘unusually harsh’.
