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).
A heavily armed police contingent descended on the Johannesburg CBD yesterday and used fences to separate DA and ANC Youth League (ANCYL) members during the DA’s march to Luthuli House the ANC's headquarters over rolling blackouts in the country.
The official opposition has started marching towards the ANC s Luthuli House in Johannesburg to demonstrate against power cuts, but the ANCYL says its efforts are misguided.
