南非执政党非洲国民大会(ANC)青年联盟主席朱利叶斯·马勒马四面楚歌,他表示反对该党暂停其职位的决定。上周,马勒马因毁坏该党声誉被暂停职务。Milton Nkosi在约翰内斯堡报道。
Reading from a statement, Julius Malema said there were always signs that the decision was to suspend the ANC Youth League leadership. He said the Youth League totally disagreed with the outcome of the disciplinary committee. He said he rejects the five-year suspension verdict, which was handed down last week. He confirmed that he would appeal the convictions. The embattled youth leader, who wants President Jacob Zuma to be removed as leader of the party, said the disciplinary hearings had been used to settle political scores.
朱利叶斯·马勒马在一份声明中表示,有迹象表明,该决定是要暂停ANC青年联盟的领导权。他说,青年联盟不同意纪律委员会的决定,他对暂停五年的决定表示反对,该决定是上周做出的。他表示将对判决进行上诉,这位四面楚歌的青年领导人,希望总统祖玛辞去该党领导一职,他说纪律听证会过去是用来解决问题的。
Police in the United States have arrested a man in connection with a shooting incident close to the White House last Friday. The man, Oscar Ortega-Hernandez, was detained at a hotel in Pennsylvania. The American Secret Service said earlier that two bullets found outside the White House may be connected with the incident. One hit a bullet-proof window; the other one was found nearby. President Obama was away from the White House at the time of the shooting.
