An effort to have the ANC secretary general account for his actions at the ANCYL conference was thwarted by his allies at a recent National Working Committee meeting
Another elective congress of the Eastern Cape ANC Youth League is forging ahead after the staging of a disputed conference in Komani in June at which a faction of the young lions elected new leaders without the approval of the ruling party.
Despite having the second-biggest delegation, the Eastern Cape managed to get just six members elected onto the ANC Youth League’s powerful national executive committee at the league’s national congress at Nasrec, in Johannesburg, at the weekend.
