Deputy Speaker, the ANC congratulates Comrade Julius Malema on his re-election over the weekend ... [Interjections.] Yes, as the president. Can I be protected, Madam Deputy Speaker?
Can we have order, even if you don't like to hear that. Allow the member to make his statement.
The ANC congratulates Comrade Julius Malema on his re- election over the weekend as President of the ANC Youth League at the ANC Youth League conference held at Gallagher Estate in Midrand.
We also wish to congratulate other elected office bearers, Comrades Ronald Lamola as the deputy president, Sindiso Magaqa as the secretary-general, Kenetswe Mosenogi as the deputy secretary-general and Pule Mabe as the treasurer-general, as well as the rest of the collective of the ANC Youth League National Executive Committee. We would also like to especially include the ANC members in Parliament, hon Mduduzi Manana and hon Thandile Sunduza, who were re-elected to the NEC. [Applause.]
The crucial role played since its formation in 1944 by the ANC Youth League in advancing the national democratic revolution in South Africa cannot be overemphasised. [Time expired.]
