ANCYL in crisis - report
26/01/2007 21:30 - (SA)









ANCYL: Motlanthe intervenes

ANCYL conference postponed

ANCYL backs down on Zuma








Johannesburg - A confidential internal report paints a grim picture of disarray in the African National Congress Youth League (ANCYL), reported the Mail & Guardian on Friday.

It said seven of league's provincial structures were collapsing or were in deep crisis.

Insiders said the unwavering support of the league's national leaders for Jacob Zuma was a significant factor in this decline.

The plight of the youth league is acknowledged in last year's organisational report of its national working committee, which has been leaked to the Mail & Guardian.

It gives a picture of leadership squabbles, political infighting and internal rebellion.

Seven of the league's provincial structures had been replaced by "task teams" dispatched by the national leadership.

The only provinces to escape the imposition of task teams were the Northern Cape and Limpopo.

Some extracts from the report:

-- On KwaZulu-Natal: "Most of the RECs (regional executive committees) have collapsed."

-- On the Western Cape: "The province has been affected by the lack of leadership at all levels."

-- On Gauteng: "The mandates of all regions have lapsed and most of them are led by regional task teams."

-- Mpumalanga is "characterised by a challenge of leadership with (no) capacity to implement the organisational programme..."

-- The North West provincial executive committee "has failed to provide political support to both regions and branches."

-- On the Free State: "The weak centre of co-ordination has resulted in the failure of the provincial executive committee to provide political support to regions and branches..."

The ANCYL "categorically" rejected the claims of an organisational crisis.

"The report by Mail & Guardian is ridiculous at best and malicious at worse. It fails to understand the ANCYL in its totality and its character," said the organisation.

"The ANCYL leadership will give a detailed account of the state of the organisation to its structures at an appropriate time and platform, according to its tradition and practice."

Saw this on the news tonight.

These guys at the ancyl (dont deserve capital letters) are a joke. I dont know why they get asked opions/interviews/comments. They are really a insecure bunch of morons.

One more thing - Why are they allowed to use the name ANC? (especially when they criticize the ANC themselves) whom are they accountable to? (seems to be nobody - but it should be the ANC.. confused)

Surley there must be guidelines, rules and regulations for them to be called anc-yl?? doesnt make sense to me.

Its just like if you had DAYL, they would surely heed to what the DA's guidelines etc are.

Dont get me started on the ancyl - i start to get angry...

"detailed account of the state of the organisation to its structures" - lol, we already know its a balls-up.
"at an appropriate time" - when we feel like it.
"and platform" - as far away from the media as possible. lol
"according to its tradition and practice" - WTF does this mean, lol. Well, practice means that it wont give any detailed information, and tradition.. lol, still dont know what this means.

Morons.
 
Ahhh we can only hope that the ancyl does disappear...

They just spout nonsense on all levels.
 
This countries potential future leaders reside within the ancyl (an observation, not an opinion).

I foresee "interesting" times when the old guard die off, to be replaced with militant younger men..
 
I see interesting times as well.

If they take over, I see the brain drain acclerating (and i'm not just talking white people leaving, all skilled people will leave)... I see FDI dropping to zero almost overnight... basically everything that can help this country build itself will vanish or be abused and destroyed...

There is such a thing as the DA Youth. The reason you've never heard of them is because they just "heed to what the DA's guidelines etc are" and who'd care to listen to Tony Leon's mini-me? :D

It was interesting to read in the m&g article that the ANCYL's influence is not quite what they think it is:
However, there are clear signs that its influence in the ANC is waning.

In Mafikeng in 1997, it failed to secure the ANC deputy presidency for its candidate, Mathews Phosa, after the league was told by party elders that the post would go to Zuma.

At the same conference, the league -- then aligned with Mbeki -- also failed to have Steve Tshwete elected as party chairperson, a job which went to Mosiuoa Lekota.

The league has also been weakened by its attempted forays into business and links with such figures as murdered mining boss Brett Kebble. Political commentator William Mervin Gumede, writing in Thabo Mbeki and the Battle for the Soul of the ANC, says: “ANC Youth League members, once among the major power-brokers, are now too focused on making a fast buck to swing the election, but the yuppie politicians could be useful as noisy campaign troops.”​
