It came as a surprise to me that Julius Malema got any real punishment at all from the ANC, but it seems he had gone too far with his taunts and other outrageous behaviour.
However he was more than just reprimanded this time. Apparently the ANC hierachy have decided to lay down the law. And the worse of his punishments could turn out the be the two year suspended sentence, which might result in him getting suspended from the ANC.
Just watching Malema try to be quiet for 2 years should be entertaining enough.
He might think going to leadership and anger management classes is beneath him, plus we know he isn’t the world’s best student. Or he could think paying R10 000 (of the R20 000 he claims to earn per month) is a heavy price to pay.
Now that the punishment has been dished out (and we hear there was a plea bargain of sorts) will Malema be able to tow the line?
Does he have it in him to not offer an opinion or not allow himself to be provoked by the media?
Or will he use someone else in the ANCYL to be his spokesperson or rather mouthpiece.
Somehow I doubt that Julius Malema will remain out of trouble for any length of time. He is supposedly giving another press conference later today.
We may not have to wait too long.
