Mda is already getting people excited with her vision of a united South African youth and of putting petty politics aside.

"We stand for inclusiveness and the high moral ground of young people in general," said Mda, who has criticised the ANCYL for its exclusively black leadership.

In an interview with News24, Mda was scathing about ANCYL leader Julius Malema.

"I don't spend a lot of my time thinking about Malema, but when I see his behaviour I think it's as simple as a wild animal's behaviour," she quipped.

"There isn't any domestic animal I liken Malema's behaviour to because I'm going to do injustice to those animals."

She took a swipe at the youth league's backing of ANC president Jacob Zuma.

"If we have a leader whose morality has been exposed to not be in good stand then we should not seek to back such individuals for the sake of our own popularity," she told News24.

The new youth wing

Cue the new youth wing, which Mda promises will focus on education, health, the economy and the fight against crime.

"We no longer want our people continuously being fed by the hand of government," she said. "We want to promote a culture of non-dependency."

She at least sound like a worthy leader, unlike Julius Malema.

It still all sounds to good to be true, i hope they walk the walk after they have got their votes and that it all hasn't just been election talk.

Very true and that was also my first thought when reading the article but we can only hope, and hopefully, this will cause the ANC to lose votes.
