Reports from Pretoria say South Africa's ruling party Youth League President, Julius Malema, has called on youths to fight for the "unbanning" of the youth league.
Addressing his followers in Bushbuckridge, Malema said he would continue to support the African National Congress even if he was expelled.
Malema said the youth should not be intimidated in their fight for the economic freedom of the country.
The ANC's national appeals committee suspended Malema for five years and was considering pleas for leniency for his and other youth leaders' sentences.
Malema and his executive were found guilty last November of bringing the ANC into disrepute following their call for regime change in Botswana.
