Fed-up youth league members threaten ANC over 'old' leadership
Johannesburg - Disgruntled members of the ANC Youth League have threatened the ANC with legal action if it refused to disband the youth body’s national structure which they accused of destroying the organisation. On Tuesday, the group marched on the ANC’s Luthuli House headquarters in Johannesburg where they called on the governing party to immediately set up an ANCYL national task team which would prepare for the national conference and dissolve the current structure which was elected in 2015.
“If the ANC leadership does not want to listen us, we know people who are more than willing to listen. There are institutions of this country that are designed to guard democracy. If people are running away from democracy, we will just frogmarch them to the South Gauteng High Court. This is a winnable case,” Selamolela said
“For the last four years, all we have heard is 40% . All we have seen is leadership of the youth league deploying themselves into various positions,” Selamolela said.
