OPINIONISTA: Whither the ANC Youth League?

Is the ANC moving away from its traditions and culture? On Friday, 31 May 2019, young people picketed outside St George’s Hotel in Tshwane at the ANC special NEC meeting. They are now planning a march to Luthuli House on 4 June 2019. They want the ANC NEC to disband the ANC Youth League NEC.

We can’t have an organisation that marches against itself at times — or even approaching the courts — instead of finding political solutions. The ANC NEC should put the matter of the ANC on its agenda without young people pushing it: While the matter is being engaged it should also go back to why the ANCYL executive was disbanded in 2013, and reflect on the role that was played by the two national task teams that were appointed. Lessons must be learnt on how things were done by the ANC NEC in the rebuilding process of the ANCYL after the ANCYL NEC was disbanded.

The crisis in which the ANCYL finds itself is because of some ANC NEC members who want to control the ANCYL to push their own agendas that don’t serve the interests of the organisation.
