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.
Less than 24 hours after being elected as Eastern Cape ANC Youth League chair, controversial public figure Luntu Sokutu is at odds with the league’s mother body.The ANC has asked Sokutu, who was convicted two weeks ago of assaulting the teenage daughter of former soccer referee Ace Ncobo, to submit a copy of the judgment to the party.
An unimpressed high court judge presiding over the trial of accused including former Buffalo City Metro officials and businesspeople has come down hard on the prosecution after yet another postponement.
ANC Youth League provincial chair hopeful Vuyo Jali’s bid is gaining momentum, with several regions rallying behind him. Jali, who is also the Buffalo City Metro’s ANC Dr WB Rubusana regional spokesperson, confirmed to the Dispatch that he had thrown his hat into the ring.
