Julius Malema has been suspended from the ANC for five years and, if his appeal fails, must vacate his position as the youth league's president, the ruling party's national disciplinary committee has ruled.
Malema has two weeks to appeal the decision. He remains on full pay until the outcome of the appeal.
Youth league spokesperson Floyd Shivambu was also suspended from the ruling party.
The youth league leader was found guilty of undermining party leadership and sowing division in party ranks for his criticism of ANC (and South Africa) president Jacob Zuma, as well as bringing the party into disrepute by recklessly denouncing the Botswanan government, in conflict with ANC policies.
He was found not guilty on separate charges of inciting hatred and racism.[M&G]
