ANC Youth League leader Julius Malema says Athletics South Africa President Leonard Chuene should not have apologised for lying to the nation.

Chuene apologised 10 days ago after admitting he lied about Caster Semenya's gender tests.

Malema said he did not believe human beings could be hermaphrodites.

He said Chuene should not have admitted to any wrongdoing.

"Apologising for protecting one of our own, apologising to fight for this woman to participate in the world championships, we couldn't have apologised."

He said the ANCYL had met with Chuene to discuss the Semenya gender testing saga and that he had offered to resign if that was what the country's leadership wanted.

But Malema said the African National Congress Youth League told Chuene there would be no need for him to resign.

Malema also called on sponsors to remain loyal to ASA.

"Nedbank is threatening to withdraw... let them withdraw," said Malema.

He also questioned why none of the three of South African medal winners from the World Athletics Championship in Berlin had been offered sponsorships yet.

"The companies are not supporting these African children," he said.
