The Pan Africanist Congress Youth League (PACYL) wants a committee to accompany President Jacob Zuma on house visits "because we have realised that he cannot control himself and we do not want to hear other apologies".

The PACYL on Tuesday rejected Zuma's apology for his infidelity as "unwelcome" and "dangerous".

"The PACYL of Azania unwelcome[s] President Zuma's apology on his prostitution or polygamy," its president Pitso Mphasha said in a statement.

"Our stance to unwelcome the president's apology is not political," he said.

The decision was informed by the fact that Zuma's polygamous practices undermined efforts to fight the HIV/Aids pandemic.

His practices also destroyed South Africa's image.

"Above all, just [a] few years back he had unprotected sex with an HIV positive woman and he... apologised.

"We cannot always accept dangerous apologies. A leader always inspires his followers, in particular young people, so Zuma dangerously inspires young people to be prostitutes, a licence to HIV/Aids," Mphasha said.

"In the oath or solemn affirmation of the president as enshrined in our South African constitution... it indicates that 'I solemnly and sincerely promise that I will always promote all that will advance the republic, and oppose all that may harm it'.

"Now the president has violated the constitution, he has harmed the efforts by the nation to fight HIV/Aids. He is now a liability to the country.

'He cannot control himself'

"We further call for a committee to be established which will accompany Jacob Zuma when he will be embarking on his house visit as the president, because we have realised that he cannot control himself and we do not want to hear other apologies. Enough is enough with dangerous apologies," Mphasha said.

The revelation that Zuma had a love-child out of wedlock with Sonono Khoza, the daughter of soccer boss Irvin Khoza, has caused a furore ahead of the opening of Parliament.

After issuing a statement confirming the reports and slamming the media for its insensitivity, Zuma on Saturday apologised to South Africans.

"I deeply regret the pain that I have caused to my family, the ANC, the alliance and South Africans in general," he said in a statement.

He "acknowledged" and "understood" the reaction of South Africans.
