ANCYL claims organisational paralysis due to unemployment

ANC financial support lacking

- By Queenin Masuabi

ANC Youth League (ANCYL) leaders are unable to attend meetings or carry out party programmes because they are unemployed. This is even when the organisation campaigns nationally for economic freedom and job creation for the youth.

This is according to the league’s national general council organisational report, which was delivered by ANCYL secretary general Mtuwoxolo Ngudle in Kimberley last week.

The report, which we have seen, stated that several structures across provinces and regions flagged high levels of unemployment among leaders as the reason why they are unable to carry out party programmes or attend meetings.

“The ANCYL in Gauteng cites unemployment of provincial executive committee members as a major challenge. In the Eastern Cape’s Joe Gqabi region, the report acknowledges high unemployment among regional executive committee members.”
