ANC Youth League calls for closure of Twitter
3 Nov 2010
It seems the ANC Youth League (ANCYL) has finally had enough of all the fake Twitter accounts that have sprung up in the name of Julius Malema, hilariously calling on the authorities to "closer (sic.) Twitter if its administrators are not able to administer reports for violation of basic human rights and integrity".
Youth League spokesman Floyd Shivambu threatened that the "impersonators" would feel the full force of the law, claiming that the "laws of this country will come down very hard on them."
