"Those who claim to be doing this hooliganism in our name, if they are found to be our members, the ANC disciplinary code will kick in," Legoete added.She called on law enforcement to send a strong and clear message that activities such as those perpetrated at the book launch had no place in a democratic society."While protests are part of a robust and lively democracy such as ours, they must at all times be conducted within the bounds of legality.

"Those who are aggrieved by the contents of the book have recourse provided by our legislative instruments, instead of attacking the legitimate actions of the writers, publishers and book stores to bring matters that may well be uncomfortable to light," Mbete said.
