Protesters were determined to go into Luthuli House where the second disciplinary hearing in less than a year against Malema was underway. The charges against Malema include bringing the ANC into disrepute by calling for a regime change in neighboring Botswana.
Malema is known for his fiery and often controversial rhetoric for which he, the youth league, and the ANC often have to apologize. He has forced the ANC to put nationalization of land and mines back onto the ANC policy discussions agenda - something the party backed away from in the early 1990’s.
The once supportive relationship between Malema and Zuma has deteriorated over the past two years, as Malema has ever more frequently challenged the president and the ANC over their policies.
During an afternoon recess Tuesday, Malema came out to address the protesters, calling on them to respect the ANC and its processes and focus on what he called the revolution on the enemy. When he said they know who the enemy is, they chanted "Zuma, Zuma, Zuma."
The outcome of the disciplinary action is unlikely to be known before next week.
