The last time the ANC Youth League (ANCYL) convened a national congress in Bloemfontein 12 years ago - electing Julius Malema as president - it was characterised by exposed bottoms and flying chairs.
Elaborating on the reasons for the latest postponement of the congress, she said: “As things stand, out of nine provinces, we are done with Limpopo, which has 52,000 members in good standing and verified. We have done two regions in the Eastern Cape and we are starting in KZN.
“On verification, we resolved that the ANC should lead the process for us to be able to have a credible conference and a product that is quality, and that verification will be followed by the audit. “Part of why we have postponed is the fact that we want to go to the conference of the youth league with delegations from the provincial executive committees' leading branches because branches cannot go to national congress leading themselves.
“We took a decision to say, let us allow provinces to go to their provincial congresses, so that we have delegates that are not leaderless towards the congress. “The strengthening of the coordinator's office is on that basis, so that we are able to achieve our objective to make it a point that in May congress sits, so that the ANCYL will participate in the national general council of the ANC with a mandated and elected leadership.”
