Johannesburg - ANC Youth League president Julius Malema has sent a threatening SMS to SA Communist Party (SACP) deputy general secretary Jeremy Cronin, following the former's embarrassing appearance at the SACP
conference, City Press reported on Sunday.
"If you thought you have taught me a lesson, wait until you see what is coming your direction," Malema reportedly texted Cronin after he was booed at the SACP's conference in Polokwane.
City Press reported that several leaders within the ANC and SACP
have confirmed the SMS.
Cronin would not confirm the SMS to the paper and would only describe Malema's language as "rather loose...I ignore that kind of thing".
"We want to have a constructive relationship, not with individuals but with the ANCYL collective," said Cronin.
Last month, Cronin and Malema exchanged combative words. In the SACP newsletter, Cronin said that those who called for nationalisation of mines, such as Malema, did not understand the economics of the issue.
Malema fired back, accusing Cronin of being a "white messiah".
Both the ANCYL and the SACP could not be reached for comment.
