ANC Youth League President Julius Malema has yet to react to demands for him to apologise for apparently calling Deputy Transport Minister Jeremy Cronin a "white messiah".
Malema made the comment after Cronin published an article criticising the youth league president’s call to nationalise mines.
The Young Communist League and the South African Communist Party have come out in Cronin’s defence.
The two groups have called for a meeting with Malema, saying he should apologise for his remark.
