Parliament – Speaker Baleka Mbete on Wednesday said she had asked Parliament’s rules committee to look into the scathing criticism Economic Freedom Fighters leader Julius Malema’s levelled at President Jacob Zuma in the debate on the State of the Nation Address.

Mbete told the National Assembly she would stand by her ruling that Malema’s remarks would be expunged from the official record of the first day of the debate on Tuesday and added she had also referred it to the “rules committee for perusing”.

Kaizer Chiefs started their 2016 CAF Champions League campaign in the best possible way with a 4-0 victory over Volcan de Moroni in the Comoros on Sunday.

Chiefs took an early lead against the island club, Bernard Parker scoring from long range to give Steve Komphela’s side the perfect start.

Parker then turned provider as his free-kick found the head of Erick Mathoho just minutes before half-time, and the big defender made it 2-0 to Amakhosi.

Mathoho got his second and Chiefs’ third early in the second half, tapping in from close range after the home side failed to clear Siphiwe Tshabalala’s corner-kick.

Substitute Sula Matovu netted a late goal from Camaldine Abraw’s pass to all but seal progress for Chiefs, who entertain Volcan in the second leg with a four-goal cushion on February 27.

Chiefs XI: Pieterse, Moleko (Gaxa 55′), Gordinho, Mathoho, Masilela, Katsande, Baloyi, Tshabalala (Matovu 87′), Maluleka (Mthembu 60′), Parker, Abraw

MATSHENG- African National Congress Youth League president Collen Maine is expected to lay a charge of intimidation against Economic Freedom Fighters members at Taung police station. This comes after EFF members visited his parental home in Matsheng village, near Taung on Monday. The EFF members were allegedly picketing outside his home and delivered bananas to his family after Maine referred to them as ‘monkeys’.

EFF provincial secretary in North West, Thabo Sehloho said: “We as members of EFF in North West, we felt it was appropriate to visit Maine’s family and delivered bananas after his rhetoric statement. Maine called EFF members monkeys and we wanted to show him how monkeys behave. We urge him to carry bananas wherever he goes, because monkeys without bananas can be very treacherous.

“We want him to withdraw his statement. We are living in modernised times, so Maine statement was rather distasteful and absurd. While we were busy picketing at the area, we saw ANC members armed with dangerous weapons pouncing on us. A fight broke between two groups after they attacked us.”

One person was allegedly run over by a car and more than ten people suffered various injuries during a fight. Police were called and monitored a situation.

Maine called EFF members ‘monkeys’ while addressing ANCYL members during ‘Kgalemela Lenyatso’ rally at Soshanguve in Gaunteng. His statement came after EFF leader, Julius Malema affirmed that they will interrupt president Jacob Zuma’ speech during State Of The Nation address that will take place on Thursday.

Our attempt to get ANCYL president, Collen Maine’s comment turned to be futile as his phone rung unanswered. He did not return our messages or calls before going to press.

ANCYL regional secretary in Dr Ruth Mompati, Crespo Menyatso alleges that the people who fought against ADD members were not members of ANC,  but the community of Matsheng at large.

“I can confirm that the EFF members went on to attack ANCYL president Collen Maine’s family. The community members had to stand up and protect the household of the son of the soil.

“Some of ANC members were part of the community, so the community could not let EFF members traumatised and threatened the family of Maine. We did not attack them, even police back them not to enter Maine’s premises. They were carrying boxes of bananas yet Maine was not around. If the did not like what ANCYL president’s utterance they were supposed to address the matter properly as a registered political party,”

The Democratic Alliance Students Organisation (Daso) is considering laying criminal charges against African National Congress Youth League (ANCYL) president Collen Maine for his threats.

This follows the Congress of the People earlier on Monday saying it is consulting “its legal team to formulate a possible charge of incitement” against Maine.

The DA said it “condemns the disturbing comments” made by Maine on Sunday and would refer this matter to the South African Human Rights Commission (SAHRC) “for its consideration for remarks that we contend rise to the level of inciting violence”.

“Maine‚ in his reckless statements‚ threatened civil war against those who undermine ANC leadership‚ particularly President (Jacob) Zuma in the build-up to the State of the Nation Address (Sona) this week‚” said Daso’s interim leader Yusuf Cassim.

President of the African National
Congress Youth League, Collen Maine, just declared war on
“Julius Malema and his monkeys” during a live television
broadcast carried by the SABC News Channel 404 on DSTV.

He called on members on the ANCYL to arm themselves and
go to Cape Town on Thursday for Zuma’s State of the Nation
Address to “defend the revolution against the woodworkers”.

Maine requested National Assembly Speaker Baleka Mbete not
to arrange security at Parliament as “the ANC Youth League
will remove Malema and his woodworkers physically from
Parliament and process them outside”.

Maine ordered members of the ANC Youth League to “prepare
yourselves as blood will be spilled”.

Dj Thabo Tbo Touch Molefe may have thrown himself under the bus by allowing his emotions to interfere with his work.

This was after he gave red hot rapper Cassper Nyovest the cold shoulder on his show.

On Monday. Cassper was scheduled for an interview on the show as part of the SABC’s promotion of the Metro FM Awards taking place later this month.

The initial arrangement was that Cassper would do the interview at the Metro FM studios in Auckland Park.
But the rapper, saying he couldn’t make it to the studio, later asked that the interview be done over the phone.

Kaizer Chiefs struck in stoppage time to hand Maritzburg United a 3-2 defeat in their Absa Premiership clash at FNB Stadium on Saturday evening.

The home side were off to the perfect start when Camaldine Abraw was tripped in the penalty area by Maritzburg goalkeeper Glenn Verbauwhede while trying to go around him one-on-one in the fourth minute. 

Willard Katsande stepped up and got enough power behind the penalty to beat Verbauwhede despite him getting a hand on it.

The Team of Choice created a few opportunities in a slow-tempo and rather dull first half but could not make the most of them, and Abraw added a second goal for Chiefs in the 37th minute with a solid header into the far corner from George Lebese’s left-wing cross.
