The ANC Youth League's national executive committee, led by its president Julius Malema, will undergo military training in September, it was announced on Thursday.

Defence and Military Veterans Minister Lindiwe Sisulu had agreed to make the necessary arrangements, the ANCYL and defence ministry said in a joint statement.

This was agreed to while Sisulu addressed the ANCYL's national executive committee (NEC) on proposed national service for unemployed youth, they said.

Sisulu had highlighted the benefits of the programme and received ANCYL input on how national service should be implemented.

"The national service will allow unemployed young people to learn both military basic training and much needed skills to equip them for their future," she said.

"Whilst undergoing a two year basic military training in one of the [SA National Defence Force] services - the SA Army, SA Air force, SA Navy and SA Medical Health Services - they will also learn various skills and also get practical work experience they can use in the future."

Sisulu said the programme would be recognised by institutions of higher learning.

It would help young people get experiential training and give them the opportunity "to put their theory into practice".

The ANCYL NEC, in turn, called for the speedy implementation of national service.

"As the ANCYL, we have been calling for this programme for a long time. We would want the minister to ensure that no young person is turned away when the programme starts. It must start as soon as possible," said Malema.

"I also hope that this programme will teach our young people to know their flag, national symbol and our rich history, but as the ANCYL we are ready to mobilise our members and all young South Africans in support of this programme," he said.

The ANCYL urged Sisulu to ensure there was buy-in to the programme from the business sector, government departments, municipalities and law enforcement agencies.

Sisulu will meet with the Young Communist League on Friday. - Sapa

Let me get this straight, the ANC is going to use our defence force to train it's members, who are unemployed in the use of weapons and military tactics. ?

they want to create more "war veterans". You must at least fail woodwork, then you will be accepted.

You expect Lance to support the use of state resources on training the youth league... looks like what's needed is for rpm to send you all to comprehension school maybe.
 
on the bright side, it might teach them some discipline.
What worries me is "to put their theory into practice" "equip them for their future,"

but I will pay to see malema put under an oldschool drill instructor.... full metal jacket style.
 
I wonder why it is reminding me the process that Zimbabwe went through . Step after step South Africa is becoming Zimbabwe

Youth League unhappy with disciplinary procedures

The ANC Youth League said on Thursday it would ask the ANC’s leadership serious questions about the procedures followed during Julius Malema’s disciplinary action.

It also said it was asking its members to help pay its leader’s R10 000 fine while its national Executive Committee members would be going to class with him in solidarity.

Earlier this week, the ANC’s disciplinary committee told Malema to pay the fine, attend certain classes and that he would be suspended if he sowed discord in the party again.

ANC Youth League Secretary General Vuyiswa Tulelo said they were not entirely happy with the outcome of Malema’s disciplinary hearing.

“There are issues we are going to raise with the leadership of the ANC. I want you to be clear that we are talking about the process. We are not about to engage on the merits or demerits of the case,” she said.

Tulelo said Malema would be helped to carry out his sentence.
“It’s not Julius in a corner saying that ‘I don’t have R10 000’. We have said to him ‘It is not your problem because you represent the leadership of the ANC Youth League,’” she said.

It seems the league was not happy with the outcome but is also weary of taking on the ANC’s top leadership.
