South Africa police out in force for Malema hearing

JOHANNESBURG, Aug 31 – With his political career at stake, firebrand South African politician Julius Malema faced a ruling ANC disciplinary hearing for a second day on Wednesday as Johannesburg police deployed in force to prevent any repeat of riots by Malema’s supporters.
   The African National Congress, which has charged the ANC Youth League leader with bringing the party into disrepute, started the hearing on Tuesday at its Johannesburg headquarters, where thousands of Malema supporters burned ANC flags and hurled rocks and bottles at journalists and police.
