Durban - The Progressive Professionals Forum president said a series of ANC Youth League (ANCYL) lectures will help build on President Jacob Zuma’s efforts towards economic liberation for the poor.
Mzwanele “Jimmy” Manyi said the lectures, which the KwaZulu-Natal ANCYL started last year, were a step in the right direction towards true liberation for black people.
“I am very excited to see that the young people, ANCYL, are very much on track and very clear about what they want.
“They are decisive in bringing about economic transformation, and they are pushing the president that he must make his legacy out of economic transformation,” he said.
Manyi had attended the Economic Freedom Lecture on Wednesday, organised by the KZN ANCYL together with its eThekwini region counterpart.
Zuma and ANCYL president Collen Maine were the guest speakers at the event.
ANCYL provincial spokesperson Mandla Shange said the aim of the programmes was to help young people, especially members of the ANCYL, to understand the concept of economic freedom.
“Because if they don’t understand it, it would be impossible to include them in finding solutions to the problems we are facing,” he said.
Among people who had previously conducted the lectures were Manyi, SAA chairperson Dudu Myeni and former SABC chief operations officer Hlaudi Motsoeneng.
