    I don't know about "ignored", but I definitely do not see the press beating the drums to attract attention to this issue.

    The press have to make money to sure you cant have reporters swanning around the place all over the world everyweek sending in copy.

    Seeing as the malema factor has came in for particular attention it's fair to say it's not being ignored at all.

    Especially due to fact it could potentialy split the ANC and unleash potentialy even more violence across SA, all while trying to ride the handcart of political populism all the way the presidency.

    Possibility of violence is not good enough of a reason to under-report events imho. But you're right in a sense that they need to make money, and Malema's theatrics amount to a goldmine.
