Listen – ANCYL's Floyd swears at journalist

 ANC Youth League spokesperson Floyd Shivambu has taken a journalist to task for requesting comment from the organisation's leader Julius Malema.



A transcript of the telephone conversation between reporter Jacques Dommisse (JD) and ANC Youth League spokesperson Floyd Shivambu (FS) requesting comment from Malema.

JD: So, why did you put the phone down?
FS: Hey?

JD: Why did you put the phone down?
FS: Hey man. You are doing a wild goose chase. I say that if you want to go ahead and write, go ahead and write because he won’t speak to you. It never happened, okay? He [Malema] doesn’t want to talk to you.

JD: Why will you not let me speak to Malema?
FS: I said he doesn’t want to. Why must he speak to you? He has no obligation to speak to you.

JD: Because he is a politician.
FS: Yes, but I said no. You cannot force people to speak to you.

JD: I don’t understand?
FS: He will not speak to you. You cannot force someone to speak to you if they do not want to speak to you. He does not want to speak to you. I have just spoken to him.

JD: How do you know he doesn’t want to speak to me?
FS: Because I just spoke to him now.

JD: How do you mean you have just spoken with him? I don’t understand.
FS: Fuck you.

JD: Say again?
FS: I said: “Fuck you”

JD: Are you swearing at me?
FS: Yes.

JD: Why are you doing that?
FS: What is your problem?

JD: I have no problem.
FS: Fuck you. Fuck off, ok.

JD: Oh, so you now said it for the fourth time?
FS: Yes.

JD: Can you please give me a contact number for Julius Malema?
FS: I don’t want.

JD. Ok. Thank-you. Goodbye.
