'It will take some time and being deft for this to change, with possibly many politically active younger members finding themselves with … other political parties.'
The demise of the ANC Youth League and the absorption of most of its key leaders into positions of power at national, provincial and local level has led to most of them being muted as a politically independent force within the ANC, according to two leading political analysts.
“We don’t want a South Africa where the president, government or ruling party leaders behave in the manner that renders them supreme – regarding themselves in any way that places them above the supremacy of the constitution and rule of law,” said Nkabinde.The recent march to Luthuli House ANC headquarters ended in predominantly young party members and a sprinkling of veterans calling for the resignation of President Cyril Ramaphosa.
McKinley said: “I do not think the march was particularly significant, with minimum numbers, having fundamentally failed to mobilise very many people. He said the demise of a revolutionary youth movement did not mean “that there is no potential for younger people to demand access, more positions and more say in the party”.
