Article: We are sorry: ANCYL

[LazyLion]

The ANCYL apologised on Tuesday to everyone it has wronged and insulted in the recent past.

"It is important that on this special occasion, we offer a public apology to everyone who was insulted and wronged by the organisation," African National Congress Youth League national task team convenor Mzwandile Masina said on Tuesday.

He was speaking at the ANCYL's 69th anniversary celebration in Johannesburg.

"The ANC finds itself in courts as a result of our actions. More recently, we lost a case lodged by a journalist at The Star newspaper, who was called a drunk by this very organisation of ours," said Masina.

The ANCYL did not have the money to pay the journalist, but could only offer a "sincere apology".

Masina called on members to refrain from making "reckless" statements in the name of the ANCYL.

"Being militant for the sake of being militant does not help us, comrades. We apologise because we think that it is revolutionary that we do so."

ANCYL 'not about individuals'

The ANCYL is not about individuals, its national task team convenor Mzwandile Masina said on Tuesday.

"As we move forward to rebuild the structures of the organisation, we must build such structures and not concentrate on individuals," Masina said at the African National Congress Youth League's 69th anniversary celebration at the Old Academy Hall, which now houses the offices of the Johannesburg metro police.

Previous leaders, such as former president Nelson Mandela and Oliver Tambo, met at the venue in 1944 to form the ANCYL, said Masina.

He said it would continue to pursue the course of economic freedom as adopted at its 2011 conference in Johannesburg.

"We must learn from the 1944 generation that came to this venue to give birth to this organisation.

"They delivered freedom to us 50 years later, and they had a clear programme of action. It is important to draw lessons from them."

In order to achieve economic freedom, the issue of free quality education should be thoroughly addressed, he said.

The ANCYL was putting measures in place to deal with factionalism and "gate-keeping."

"As we stand here, we are unable to tell you how many of you are members of the ANCYL. The task team is working tirelessly on such issues."

ANC deputy president Cyril Ramaphosa is expected to speak at the event.

Why do they speak like this? It's such a turn off.

 

[Mars]

A nice blanket apology that does not actually take responsibility of anything.

Doesnt mean shT.

Why do they speak like this? It's such a turn off.

If they spoke differently, would it turn you on? :twisted:

they are so brainwashed by this point that they can only communicate in Soviet-era rhetoric. I find it hilarious

But back to the topic...

Apologies and promises means nothing if you don't change your ways...

If the only tool you have is a hammer, everything starts looking like a nail.

Bunch of clueless rebel-wannabe's talking like they know anything & probably thinking they look dashing in their red barets. Like talking & looking stupid makes you seem cool or something.

"Being militant for the sake of being militant does not help us, comrades. We apologise because we think that it is revolutionary that we do so."

A revolution (from the Latin revolutio, "a turn around") is a fundamental change in power or organizational structures that takes place in a relatively short period of time. Aristotle described two types of political revolution:

A revolution is not what they are doing/looking for.
