Cape Town - The Mail & Guardian has reported that the ANC NEC has disbanded its youth wing NEC. The move may possibly be seen as a purge of those who disagreed with President Jacob Zuma.

The decision to disband the ANC Youth League national executive committee has come a few weeks after it was assured by the ANC top six it would not be disbanded.

Immediately after the decision was taken, the youth league's acting president Ronald Lamola and deputy secretary general Kenetswe Mosenogi were asked to leave, as they were no longer regarded as part of the NEC.

Several insiders confirmed the events on twitter, as did Floyd Shabangu, a spokesperson for the ANCYL when Julius Malema headed the organisation.

EWN tweeted: #ANCYL Some members of the ANC and the league have confirmed the disbanding of the league's NEC,but no official statement from the party.SHG

The whole Limpopo provincial government is next ...

THE African National Congress (ANC) national executive committee on Sunday wielded the axe over the Limpopo and ANC Youth League executive committees, uprooting the structures associated with expelled youth league president Julius Malema.

The national executive disbanded the two structures that were active in an abortive campaign to remove Jacob Zuma from his position as party president at the ANC’s elective conference in Mangaung in December.

This is the first significant move by the new national executive committee elected by popular mandate in Mangaung.

ANC sources said on Sunday there was overwhelming support for the call to disband the structures at the four-day lekgotla of the committee, which started on Friday. The Limpopo provincial executive committee campaigned against Mr Zuma in the run-up to the Mangaung conference, with its leaders declaring as early as 2010 that they wanted leadership changes in the party.

The decision to disband the Limpopo committee is expected to be followed by the removal of Limpopo Premier Cassel Mathale from his post. Mr Mathale was chairman of the now disbanded provincial executive.

Losing the party base makes Mr Mathale vulnerable as the province’s premier.

The decision to disband Limpopo follows an ANC national working committee probe during the past two months, which focused on the state of the party in the province. A report on provincial party branches prepared for the committee detailed the "dysfunctional state of the organisation and paralysis in Limpopo".

The report is likely to have influenced the national executive committee’s decision as it raises the matter of what it called Mr Mathale’s "grand-scale purging" of opponents.

It flags the provincial ANC leadership’s support for Mr Malema during his court appearances as problematic. It criticises the provincial leadership for supporting Mr Malema, allowing him to use Limpopo as "political base" to attack the ANC and its leaders.

It states that the Limpopo provincial executive was implicated in factional battles and used ANC structures as "spheres of influence". The various factions have had an adverse effect on the functioning and integrity of the party in the province.

It warned that communities would lose faith in the ANC.

The report is scathing in its criticism of Mr Mathale, saying he failed to differentiate between "empowerment and corruption".

@Garson007 Stop making a fool of yourself with such "intelligent" comments. Don't you think is enough by now :D
If I was Zuma I should have acted the same! WTF

All part of putting cadres in strategic places, first you have to get rid of people ten replace with cadre.
 
Winners take all. Not surprising at all. But what is surprising is that its taken this long. I thought the purge would start earlier.
 
ANCYL Executive Dissolved: Mantashe

The ANC has dissolved the ANC Youth League's national executive committee, secretary-general Gwede Mantashe said on Monday.

"[This is] as a consequence of its continued ill-disciplined behaviour that brought the organisation into disrepute on numerous occasions," Mantashe told reporters in Johannesburg.

"An interim team will be selected and put in place by the NWC [national working committee]."

The decision was taken at a three-day African National Congress national executive committee (NEC) meeting held in Irene, south of Pretoria, at the weekend.

Mantashe said the NEC had instructed that all processes be stopped immediately with regard to the pending provincial and regional conferences of the ANCYL.

Some were trying to rush these conferences so that leaders could be elected.

"We can't have a leadership that is instant," said Mantashe.

"There is a difference between filter coffee and instant coffee."

ANCYL Timeline

Below is a timeline of events involving the African National Congress Youth League since the election of Julius Malema as its leader, until its disbandment by the ruling party on Monday.

April 2008: Julius Malema was elected ANC Youth League president, taking over from Fikile Mbalula. The position of ANCYL leader was contested by Sakie Mo***eng.

After Malema's election the conference, marred by ill-discipline and disruptions, was adjourned to deal with objections against the election process.

Almost two weeks after the conference had been adjourned the ANC reaffirmed Malema's leadership, clearing the electoral process.

June 2008: Malema told a Youth Day rally in Thaba Nchu in the Free State that the youth of South Africa would die supporting ANC president Jacob Zuma.

October 2008: It was announced that an audit firm would investigate the state of finances of the ANCYL's investment arm, Lembede Investment Holdings.

Jan 2009: Malema declined nomination for a seat in parliament. He appeared 95th on the ANC's nomination list.

August 2009: ANCYL announced it was shutting down Lembede Investment Holdings after auditors found its previous management had breached the Companies Act and no financial records had been kept since it was established in 2000.

April 2010: Malema visited Zimbabwe in what was described as a visit on indigenisation. Malema made headlines during a media briefing covering his visit to Zimbabwe, when he lashed out at BBC journalist Jonah Fisher, calling him a "bloody agent".

Zuma publicly criticised Malema's behaviour saying it was "alien to the ANC".

May 2010: Malema appeared before an ANC disciplinary hearing for bringing the ruling party into disrepute.

He was found guilty of criticising Zuma.

The national disciplinary committee at the time said should Malema be found guilty of provoking serious divisions or a breakdown of unity in the organisation within the next two years, his ANC membership would be suspended.

June 2010: Malema was re-elected unopposed for a second term as ANCYL president.

September 2010: Malema was found guilty of hate speech, after the lobby group AfriForum took him to court for singing the song "Shoot the Boer".

August 2011: Malema, league spokesman, Floyd Shivambu, league deputy president Ronald Lamola, secretary general Sindiso Magaqa, his deputy Kenetswe Mosenogi and treasurer general Pule Mabe faced charges of bringing the ANC into disrepute and sowing divisions in ANC ranks.

ANCYL supporters rioted outside the ANC's Johannesburg headquarters during the leadership's first NDC appearance. They hurled broken bricks at police and journalists and burnt pictures of President Jacob Zuma, all in the name of Malema.

October 2011: Thousands of ANCYL supporters walked from the Johannesburg CBD to Pretoria as part of an "economic freedom youth mass action".

November 2011: Malema, Shivambu, Lamola, Magaqa, Mosenogi and Mabe were found guilty of various charges and sanctioned by the ANC's NDC.

Malema was given a five-year suspension and Shivambu three years.

The youth league leaders appealed the sanctions.

February 2012: Malema was expelled from the ANC. Magaqa and Shivambu's membership was suspended for three years.

The three were given the opportunity to appeal the sanctions.

March 2012: Malema appeals against his expulsion from the ANC.

April 2012: Malema's appeal failed and his expulsion was upheld.

The ANCYL refused to accept this saying Malema was still its leader and that he would be back.

November 2012: Malema called Lamola a "traitor" and a "sell-out". This was after Lamola said the league would support the outcome of the ANC national elective conference in Mangaung regardless of whether their endorsed candidates won.

December 2012: Malema sent the ANC conference in Mangaung a letter asking for his job back, but secretary-general Gwede Mantashe said it had been received too late, and that the programme had already been adopted.

The conference resolved that the incoming NEC should meet the ANCYL to sort out issues between the two. In his organisational report at the conference, Mantashe said the ANCYL was acting in a similar manner to forces which were against the party.

Jan 2013: ANC and ANCYL held its first meeting after Mangaung conference to work on issues within the youth wing.

March 2013: Lamola said the ANCYL leadership would quell the anarchy which characterised it last year. He also said ANCYL was going to toe Zuma's line.

A week later the ANC announces that it has disbanded the ANCYL NEC.
