Despite the ANC’s unhappiness with the ANCYL task team’s infighting that resulted in its reconfiguration, the party remains hopeful that the overhauled structure will try to maintain the scheduled date of its national elective conference, set for June this year.
In a last-ditch effort to ensure that the African National Congress Youth League (ANCYL), which has been under interim leadership, finally holds its national elective conference by June, the national working committee (NWC) has roped in new blood "with no vested interest". The ordinary sitting of the NWC that convened on Monday decided on MP Xola Nqola as the new convener and Deputy Minister in the Presidency Sonto Motaung as the new coordinator of the national youth task team (NYTT).
