Nomvula Mokonyane and the African National Congress Youth League have warned anyone planning to march to Luthuli House that they will fight fire with fire.

JOHANNESBURG - Water and Sanitation Minister Nomvula Mokonyane and the African National Congress Youth League (ANCYL) have warned anyone planning to march to Luthuli House that they will fight fire with fire.

The youth league held a rally at the Germiston stadium on Tuesday in support of President Jacob Zuma and his decision to reshuffle the Cabinet.

Mokonyane addressed those gathered in Zuma’s place, while he attended the party’s national working committee meeting on Tuesday.

The ANCYL also threatened to burn down the Economic Freedom Fighters headquarters in Braamfontein should its Members of Parliament continue to disrupt Parliament.

While the Democratic Alliance’s march to Luthuli House on Friday has been cancelled, the ANCYL says should anyone against the ANC - singling out the DA, EFF and Save SA - decide to march to the party's headquarters, they will fight back.

Agreeing with the sentiments was Mokonyane, who says they will be prepared.

She says Zuma has been a good president elected by the ANC, which was voted in by ordinary South Africans.

Mokonyane reaffirmed what she called a unilateral view from the ANC to keep Zuma in his position till 2019.
