On Wednesday, ANCYL Free State spokesperson Sello Pietersen told News24:"After we had released our statement with [the] intention to burn the book because we disagree with its propaganda, the ANC leadership engaged us and indicated that burning the book will not assist anything in terms of achieving our objectives, and that they did not agree with the burning of the book.

It emerged on Thursday that the V&A Waterfront had cancelled the Cape Town leg of the author's book launch and announced that it would instead take place at Cape Talk studios in Somerset Square, Greenpoint on Thursday evening.

Perhaps they should start a reading campaign? They may just have an epiphanic revelation or 10?

Maybe they could hire Mary Metcalfe to read it to them?

Give every member of the ANCYL a copy to actually read. Oh, but that wouldn’t solve the problem, they will still be stuck with halve a garage full of books!

They might as well start reading. 🤷🏾‍♂️ ANCYLhq MYANC GangsterState AceMagashule

Polly12346 Can someone, please tell me whether the books the Free State ANCYL is stuck with were bought by the league or not?

Oh my word!! What logic is this😳 u hate the person's work but u will support and buy their product in volumes

PLMyburgh If only they were readers😂

Inadvertently supporting PLMyburgh irony

Anc Hooligans.

PLMyburgh Fools can't read

They are stuck with Mr '10 percent'book

Oh dear, they might have to read them, then.

ANCYL (Free State) you can burn the books, but not the Truth. Thank you.

PLMyburgh They want to read all of them. 😂😂😂

I don’t think they have invented a pill for stupidity yet

I am stuck with gangsterstate pdf copies in my pc from so many of my friends.

Make it the prescibed book for matrics 2020 history class

I'd appreciate a copy actually, can't criticize something you haven't read.

Hope they were bought with personal or ANC funds and not government funds

Can i have a copy pls,,,,I don't have R266 to purchase it,,,,,

They can donate it to local schools to start a literacy program.

They just put money in the pocket of the author for buying those books

Heard this on the radio in the car this morning, was laughing all the way to work... 🤣🤣🤣

Bosasa & estina corrupt money was used to purchase the books...💣

Shame and none of them can read

PLMyburgh Pity they can't read either

Try reading them .

Stupidity has no remedy stru, so they bought the books, and the money goes to who 🤔🙄😆😆

PLMyburgh For Halloween this year I’m going to be an ANCYL member with a book I bought but can’t burn playing burn by Usher in the background 😂

PLMyburgh I hope they bought ALL your copies, PLMyburgh! 🤣🤣🤣

May be they should now take the time and read it

Good, now they can spend their time reading instead of destroying.

I have arranged the tokolose to visit anyone who burns a book.

I have always said that the ANCYL is a ‘Bastion of Intelligence’ GangsterState

Maybe the should read it.

Can I have a copy 😀please...I really want to read this book - being from the free state and all..lol

Who will spend between 10 -12 thousand rands on books and burn them . That's stupidity indeed!

Thats the mentality of THE STUPID ANCYL?

AgShame: Now ANCYL will be forced to read them instead!

Use it as prizes for excelling ANC cadres. First prize is 1 book. Second price 2 books. Third price 3 books. But by the way, how did they acquire the books? If they bought it, it is probably within their rights to either burn it or role zolle with the pages?

let them read and improve there reasoning as well,that was a good looting this time

Teach those illiterates to read it,

StateCaptureUpd So they bought these books 😂😂😂

Aaaa they will burn them but no one will know. Ace paid for them🙈🙈🙈

Maybe those illiterates should now learn to read.

I am sure the author would be very happy with the bulk purchase. I imagine he is hoping more branches of the myanc will show the same stupidity.

Meaning the morons bought the book,in the process supporting the writer

What a tragedy, they may have to eventually read them!

Can I get one plz

Did they but them?

Suppose if they could read it, they would.

😂😂😂😂😂

They can donate those books to the nearest library.

The real authors of that book are anc high ranking officials, they mustnt burn it.

They can't burn and still can't read

So someone went to buy these books? The entire Useless Oranje Free State YL leadership must be made to read them one by one..

Did they buy them, and with who's money,,,I'm curious

The author must be stoked with the sales !!

Cyril is busy building the country while Ace undo his work

I am perplexed here..they bought those books with the sole purpose of burning them. Wish I can masquerade as a idiot ancyl member & get a one copy

Let them read it 😂😂😂

They just cant think... idiots

These fools would benefit wisdom n enlightenment by reading the book

Can i pls have one. Sharing is caring 💕

better read the books to know how badly corrupt your so-called leaders can be!

Let them read it. That should be a new experience for them. Reading.

Money 💰💰💰💰💰 for the author. Izikhothane ze ANC....
