Cops ready for Malema mayhem

Gauteng police were prepared for any eventuality ahead of ANC Youth League president Julius Malema's disciplinary hearing on Tuesday.

“Police and other law enforcement agencies will be taking precautionary measures to make sure that there will be no disruptions in the city centre and surroundings to Luthuli House,” Liutenant-Colonel Lungelo Dlamini said in a statement.
“Lawlessness will not be tolerated. Certain streets leading to the city centre and surroundings to the Luthuli House may be affected and members of the Johannesburg metro police will be on the ground to make sure that traffic runs smoothly.”
Dlamini said law enforcement agencies considered the intended gathering of supporters prohibited, because “no application was received in terms of the Gatherings Act”.
Malema told reporters on Monday the league would not be bussing in supporters.
African National Congress Youth League spokeswoman Magdalene Moonsamy said she could not say when and how many supporters were expected.
