Mr Speaker, it is becoming clearer by the day that the ANC is torn into at least two belligerent factions and that the ANC leadership has become incapable of leading. The ANC's fractured leadership appears to be totally paralysed in dealing with its youth league. [Interjections.]
Mr Malema and his supporters openly make a mockery of the ANC leadership. They misbehave. Some of them act like hooligans. They openly defy the rule of law. They arrogantly commit contempt of court. They ridicule the ANC leadership. They scare off international investors by threatening nationalisation. They insult white South Africans as "thieves" and they act as if they themselves rule South Africa. [Interjections.]
Worst of all is that the ANC's fractured leadership has become powerless. That raises the question: Who is the real boss in South Africa, Malema or Zuma? [Interjections.]
Order, hon members, order!
What is really bad news is that South Africans at large are at the receiving end of all this. [Interjections.] The ANC's leadership paralysis is harming our economy. It allows our international image to be tarnished. It allows the judiciary to be ridiculed. It allows white citizens to be insulted and it allows for a dangerous culture of disrespect and ill-discipline to grow in our land.
It is time for decisive action, for strong leadership - which, unfortunately, the ANC does not have any longer. As the late Kader Asmal said ... [Interjections.] [Time expired.]
