"Zuma is robbing the country blind" Achmat


 Aids activist Zachie Achmat says he will surrender his ANC membership if President Jacob Zuma is given a second term as party leader.

Achmat, founder of the Treatment Action Campaign and currently also a champion for farmworkers' rights, has told Beeld that Zuma is robbing the country blind.

Meanwhile, former ANC Youth League president Julius Malema has criticised his successor, Ronald Lamola, calling him a "traitor" and "sellout".

Lamola said the youth league would support the outcome of the ANC national elective conference in Mangaung regardless of who wins.

He has declined to comment on Malema's criticism.
