Gareth Cliff criticises ANCYL over audition protests
Media personality, Gareth Cliff, says the ANC Youth League's decision to stage protests outside the venue of the Idols SA auditions in Durban is discouraging to South African youth who want their talents to be recognised.
He was addressing the media yesterday after he won his case against television pay channel, M-Net. A Pretoria High Court judge has ordered M-Net to reinstate Cliff as a judge of the popular singing talent competition.
Cliff says that if the ANC Youth league intends to disrupt auditions, they are not a youth league the country needs.
"I think it would be wrong of them to stand in the way of young people with talent who want to go have their audition. That would be properly destructive.
"If anything what we have tried to do is keep things on track so that things go ahead, has have M-Net [done], as have the producers," he said.
