ANC Youth League ANCYL president Collen Malatji says he would rather support the reinstatement of former secretary-general Ace Magashules party membership than that of former party president Jacob Zuma.
In an interview with the Mail Guardian this week, Malatji also vowed to use the ANCYL to defend President Cyril Ramaphosa against any attempts to remove him.
It is very wrong to put Zuma and Ace in the same category. If Ace were to close his political party today, come back tomorrow and say, Im pleading, I made a mistake, its a matter I could participate in and plead for him, Malatji said.
