ANC Youth League demands the disbandment of national task team, wants to run its own affairs | Citypress

A group of 107 ANC Youth League members have written a scathing letter to ANC secretary-general Ace Magashule and his deputy Jessie Duarte demanding that they be given their power back to run the league.

“We demand the immediate removal of all individuals above the age of 35 from all structures of the ANCYL, as their continued occupation of those positions remains unconstitutional,” reads the letter. The national task team was appointed by the ANC’s national executive committee last year after the ANCYL national structure was disbanded.

Their appointment also came after a sustained campaign, which first caught steam on social media, to remove the then ANCYL leadership, led at the time by Collen Maine. “We have, just in this past week, witnessed with great shock and embarrassment, the national youth task team issuing a statement attacking the ANC Women’s League – a statement which some task team members have distanced themselves from.
