Party leader, Julius Malema has likened the ANC to a parent who continues to defend their child when the community is well aware of the child's criminal acts.

"When you are told in the township that your child is a criminal - stealing from people or raping people there and you protect him and sere an alibi. Wait until he does that to you. That's what the ANC is confronted with today. We warned them about this delinquent. When we said so - we were called rascals, reckless," he says.
