When you become a parent of a teen, you learn to pick your fights carefully. The ANC cannot back down now or they run the risk of the YL becoming bigger than the mother body and losing all control of the organisation. However, if they don't find a solution, they run the risk of the internal faction fighting escalating to whole new levels.Report Abuse

These stupids, instead of focusing on ISSUES AFFECTING THE YOUTH decide to focus on an idiot like malema. there are millions of disenfranchised young people out there. some of them gang rap.ing girls because they have nothing better to do. some of them jobless and have no means to improve their livelyhood. they are hungry for mentors which is the role that should be played by youth organisations.the ANCYL has lost the plot completely.Report Abuse

@Fizo these people like Cheeseboy and RobinH are the ones who are stupid, the ANCYL is not in any way responsible for all the youth of South Africa you can not blame us for unemployment and all the wrong things done by youth. if we are to take blame then the responsibility should be shared amongs all youth organisations including your DA YOUYH, DASO, YCL and so on@Swona we can replace aour leaders when we see fit not because someone in the motherbody says so, we stand by our decisions, we remain united and unshaken, we are not corward.

The three leaders must be re-instated to their positions due to incosistencies in disciplining people. How many politicians went scot free after being found to have been involved in acts of corruption? Thousands.Ill-discipline is not only being disrespectful of elders or how you talk to elders, it is also more being involved in acts of corruption and stealing public funds.
I would be more prepared to forgive a person who spoke in a bad way to someone than a corrupt manipulative thief that has admitted or found to have been involved in acts of corruption.

@allI beg to differ with those of you who criticise the ANCYL without the knowledge of what their role and mandate is!!!! The current leadership was voted into power last year or so and they were specifically given a mandate. Calling them names does not make your statements anymore valid or genuine. Let us argue the facts at your our disposal.
@Fizo, I am in agreement with you, many here comment without knowledge, others from the sheer hatred of the you league, hence they always call them names. I say if they top the hating, they may just start seeing things differently.

It was a big mistake for ANC National Youth League NEC to be elected without contestation , and as a result some chaff crept into the leadership of the League. There is obviously a mionority of ANC Youth League NEC members who are only too happy to see the ANC Youth League boming a lapdog of certain senior ANC officials they believe are in a good position to reward them as individuals. On the other hand there are political commentators and members of the press and media who are hell-bent in making sure that the Zuma faction wins a second term, a prospect they think will make for interesting politics. The re-elction of Jacob Zuma can only undermine ANC support among the public and strengthen opposition parties. Many South Africans are getting fed up with the vulgarity and obscenity of ANC politics. and Jacob Zuma's re-election will only confirm that. An ANC led by Kgalema Motlanthe, who has managed to stay above the fray of factionalism, will increase and consolidate ANC support nationally. It will also bring back all those disgruntled ANC supporters who went to COPE.Report Abuse

@RobinH.....Educate yourself a bitThe autonomy of the ANC Youth League and generally young people in all revolutions
is elementary to a revolution’s progress and success. Revolutions are by their very
nature activities of young people, and marginalising young people merely into a
preparatory arrangement within revolutionary movements stifles the political and
ideological development of such movements. History proves that almost all if not all
national liberation and revolutionary movements that do not have autonomous
youth formations degenerate into insignificance with the passage of time. So
reducing autonomy into a constitutional matter without politics is a political blunder
with massive consequences. That is why the autonomy of the ANC YL to formulate novel ideological and political tactics within a broader strategic vision should forever
be protected. Autonomy of the Youth League should not just be reduced to
organisational autonomy of organising own meetings, but not taking own decisions.
It should fundamentally mean the right of the Youth League to formulate
independent political, ideological and strategic perspectives in the cause of struggle
and independent capacity and ability to robustly advocate for such perspectives.

@Cheeseboy...accept i will teach you the role of ANCYL..Those who argued for the formation of the ANC Youth League in the early 1940s,
notably former ANC President Joshua T. Gumede, argued that the YOUTH LEAGUE
had to be formed because that was the only way to make the ANC live forever. By its
very nature the ANC Youth League has to be youthful, re-energize and radicalize the
ANC and those who are opposed to its ideals should never be tempted to liquidate
the ANC Youth League, nor destroy its leadership. The ANC Youth League is an
integral part of the ANC, but an autonomous organisation. It does many things, some
of which will not be comfortable with the older generation.

Thanks Fizo. Regarding your statement that the YL is autonomous, I would beg to differ. During the actual years of struggle a degree of autonomy was tolerated, but the constitution of the YL in no way indicates autonomy, and with respect, it would be a farce to consider it so. I am not a completely uninformed fool. We just have a difference of opinion.Black Lion, you miss my point. I was asking what he meant. I made no assertion that they represent the youth of South Africa. Don't let your bias cloud your thinking.

It is now the time for the ANC to disband the current leadership of the YL from the NEC to the PEC's and introduce the NTT (National Task Team) and PTT's (Provincial Task Team). Why did Pule Mabe not be given a fair hearing, why if you have differnt views with them, you are enemy. Look at Andile Lungisa this time, You remember how was Lehlogonolo Masoga was treated by Julius Malema? Is Malema the ANC/yl? What was his contributions to the struggle? Nothing, just to confuse his fools that he is championining the poor while in Sandton and Flora Park enjoying loot from Limpopo Government. Malema will be exposed soon, let alone the Mangaung Confernce...Report Abuse

Many generations before this generation defended the autonomy of the ANC YouthLeague and this generation owes it upon these generations to protect and defend the
autonomy of the ANC Youth League. This generation of Youth League owes it upon
the generations of Walter Sisulu and subsequently Peter Mokaba to defend the
autonomy of the ANC YOUTH LEAGUE. A possible respond to the 1940s ANC Youth
League call for defiance of the apartheid system could have been disciplinary action
against the Youth League leadership, but its autonomy allowed space for measured
discussion which took the ANC forward. When former Presidents Robert Resha and
Nelson Mandela called for armed struggle, it was not policy of the ANC, yet they were
allowed space to raise why the ANC had to take armed struggle. In all efforts to
defend the autonomy, it should be understood that autonomy of the ANC YL is a
political matter.
Therefore the twin tasks of the youth league today, is the mobilisation of youth
behind ANC vision and programme for the construction of a non-racial, non-sexist,
democratic and prosperous society. Secondly is to champion (and place
central youth development to the nations agenda) youth development both
in the ANC and in society. Thirdly is to ensure that the Freedom Charter objectives
are realised in totality.
Informed by the above the ANC Youth League tasks are underpinned by the need
to deepen democracy, champion youth development and advocate for the
realisation of economic freedom. The role of the YL remains that of being a political
school for the training and the education of young revolutionary democrats,
whose task is to continue with the process of fundamental transformation of
South Africa in favour of millions of ordinary people both black and white.

The manner in which our fellows are failing is sickening to say the least. Our so called states men are busy flaunting in luxurious contraptions of all sorts. I find it absurd and selfishness at the highest level, of our current leaders to openly betray the orchestrators of the constitution. The latter stunt on the ANCYL by our so called president, showed how inept our president is. The dire decision taken by JZ via Cyril to disarm Malema showed pure lame ignorance/spinelessness our state leader is. All these shenanigans by Mantashe and crew will someday haunt their inner souls, which are purely contaminated with greed. Most of the bloggers on this site feel very brave behind computer screens provided by their masters, thus overlooking the people on the gutters of their penuries which JUJU raised. Not many of you in this very site have guts to raise issues which the ANCYL have raised? Succession battles should be drawn in proper platforms for such to be efficient, however our own lame president is taking a blind eye on issues pertaining his own cowardice governance. Masses should not be deceived by Mantashe/Mthembu and their cronies of being the only principled cadres in the movement (As they are forever high on booze), South African politicians are so hypnotically biased. A real state should not be governed on emotions and illusions. Zuma perpetually erred, yet we had the mercy to garner enough support for his submergence to the peak position he holds today, though he is only left with some 6 odd months on the seat.Report Abuse

@CheeseboyI don't know if we are interpreting this constitution correctly, but achieving fundamental social change for the benefit of all young people is exactly what the ANCYL is trying to do. The problem is that there are forces who are hellbent on trying to remove a leader or leaders without the permission of the 5331 delegates who voted for them. These leaders are being removed with sinister motives under the guise of ill-discipline. If a person is employed and is disciplined, found guilty and appeals and also found guilty, he then goes to the CCMA and argues his point accross and many South Africans have won their cases because the DC & Appeals process is filled with people who want to get rid of you at all cost. Our leaders that you seem not proud of are subjected to unfair disciplinary processes being charged of contravening a policy that does not exist. The Botswana issues for example shows no ANC policy being contravened, a SADC document was produced, Magaqa apologized in public as ordered and yet he is suspended. The ANCYL recognizes such decisions as unfair and have come to a conclusion that these are sinister moves and have since noticed that it is because they are articulating certain views which are unpopular here in SA but progressive parties around the world are now adopting. In France a socialist party has won over the Conservative party, In America the NHI is in nature a socialist policy & the baillout plan to the banks is also socialist in nature and many hardliner politicians there were worried that this is a communist move. Winston Churchill lost to a candidate who had plans to nationalized all strategic sectors of the economy and he succeeded and years later the greedy capitalist saw the country was now thriving and they took over. Norway's oil is nationalized, Implats has a sister company in Zimbabwe called Zimplats and the shareholders have not run away after the company was nationalized. All i'm trying to say is that there are progressive organisations on the international arena who are pushing for socialist agenda and are pushing to close the gap between the poor and the rich. These views are unpopular and the ANCYL will never surrender the views and have vowed never to be the generation that sells or gives up the autonomy of the ANCYL. They are determined and Guptas owned newspapers and Luthuli house is just across the street from Independent newspapers. They can try and character assassinate the ANCYL they will never surrender. If they want to attack the ANCYL's president personality then we should also attack the ANC and the country's president. He has so many flaws in his personality and him being a poor guy that borrowed from Madiba & later Schabir Shaik to him now building a R64 million house then we should be worried. This autonomy guarantees future generations for the youth to continue on the self determination path that started long time ago. JZ enjoys the company of the MK followers because of the YL of Mandelas & Sisulus amid accusation of ill-discipline from the leaders in their times. The ANCYL are not a bunch of monkeys as being touted in the media and comment such as these will never deterr them from being focussed on what they are trying to achieve. Mandela has never surrendered his stance despite being branded a terrorist by US, Britain and all counter-revolutionary forces. Fidel Castro continues to be a thorn in the US and are even adopting some of his policies when it comes to health. What do they do, put sanctions against Cuba and brand him a person who makes his people poor, this what they are doing with Zim and this is what is happening to the youth league. Victiory is Certain Asijiki!!

As a truly democratic party that happens to hold the majority at present, the ANC leadership needs to 1) demonstrate that they actually give a damn about the people (So far that track record is shocking, what with the likes of Manyi and the Gauteng Bling Premier and their blatant displays of disregard), and 2) Pay attention to the very plainly expressed views of the people (and the current SANRAL debacle and the manner in which the matter is being handled gives one little hope in that regard). I remain happily unaligned and critical of ALL party-line thinking, whether it be DA, ANC or any other grouping.Report Abuse

KAWUKHONJWAto help you briefly, disbanding them will be very big blunder/suicide remember these fools are coached by very intelligent mafios the likes of Paul mashatile, Tokyo, Phosas what they are doing is to sell an idea to the mother body that they are disfunctioning as result the mother body disband them, that will make them a big opportunists to say the leadership of Jacob Zuma cannt lead the movement
All what the ANC should do is to consider an interim structure to lead the YL to Mongaung by so doing they will be conquered an secondly to disband Limp PEC where Malema is getting more funds to destroy the ANC, but that is nt 120% stop since Tokyo,Phosa can still flow funds to Malema to destroy the anc. It is good that the mother body carry the flag to Mongaung that the YL has been infiltrated by hooligans who don’t want to take orders or follow the policies of the anc which is disciplinary action policy

@ CHEESE BOYThese stupids, instead of focusing on ISSUES AFFECTING THE YOUTH decide to focus on an idiot like malema. there are millions of disenfranchised young people out there. some of them gang rap.ing girls because they have nothing better to do. some of them jobless and have no means to improve their livelyhood. they are hungry for mentors which is the role that should be played by youth organisations.the ANCYL has lost the plot completely.
Malema is not an idiot, ANCYL cant do anything to change livelihoods of youth. Youth can change lives on their own. What Malema was preaching is Economic Freedom..........and no idiot can think of Economic Freedom. FACT Malema is going to bounce back and you'll understand.

You talk like a true revolutionary.However,being a true revolutionary wont add any value to RSA.There was an opportunity for youth businesses and entrepreneurs to be developed via NYDA,but ANCYL sieged the poor organisation and paralysed it.
So this thing of preaching economic freedom and destroying development institutions is a contradiction.Again,economic freedom preached by the YL was ill-informed.Taking over mines, banks and unproductive land is not a way to go.
Instead we should focus on education,training and entrepreneurship to become economically free.

But jacob running for a second term is a good thing. It will force people to reconsider which party they vote for. A vote for South Africa, or a vote for Jacobs bank account.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Some of us have long suspected this. That there are those who think a second term for Jacob Zuma can only be advantageous to the opposition. A vote for Jacob Zuma will only strengthen the opposition. We should not forget that many people were very confused during the 2009 general election and were considering not voting for the ANC. That is until Nelson Mandela came out to say let us vote for Nxamalala. That is when people changed their minds because they realised that the ANc was bigger than Jacob Zuma. Even though they did not like Jacob Zuma as president, the felt that they could still trust the ANC to lead. many people were also told that Jacob Zuma will only serve one term and obviously thought they would endure shame and embrassment just for five years. Now it appears that Jacob Zuma and his faction now think they are bigger than the ANC. Jacob Zuma wants to serve a second ter, and I am not sure that after what we are going through in this term, there are many ANC supporters who are prepared to endure another five years of ANC members and supporters hanging their heads in shame. If he comes back, I would like to vote for AZAPO. At least I will be able to sleep well during the night. Definitely NOT DA!

The downfall of the ANCYL is that they are single track minded. They are unable to do an introspection which would have allowed them an elusive opportunity to reflect and be able to separate fact from fiction. They are now defying their own constitution which requires the deputy to assume presidency for the business of the organization to continue. They leave in a dream world by thinking that they can get clemency from the very motherbody they were villifying. If they do not wake up to the reality of the situation they may not see Mangaung.

I was telling myself that I won't comment. I will let the combrades to educate the masses.Something is really bothering me.I wish each and every-1 who is opposing ANCYL can come with valid political points instead of defending and bashing out ANCYL calling our leaders names.
Trust me, either the mother body decided to take actions against Lamola. They won't survive cause the whole of ANCYL executive is united behind the wheel of economic freedom for the youth of South Africa. The executive is united behind the movement of convincing the mother body to re-instate combrade Malema, Floyd and Sindiso Magaqa. This does not mean ANCYL cannot continue with it's mandate without the combrades mentioned above. It simply means that the ANCYL has stand it's ground "We shall not be intimidated and ANCYL autonomy shall not be tainted".
All those who say ANCYL is not foccusing on the matters of the youth of South Africa. I wish to advice them to visit ANCYL offices and be educated there if they can't be educated on this forum by combrade Lincoln, Fizo and Nalema. At the sametime I wish that the people can do research on certain issues and understand them better. It is clear that some of you guys who are opposing lack knowledge and understanding political issues hence you use your emotions in debating these issues.
Lastly I wish to point out that the dabate must not be changed to an argument. In that manner - No one will benefit from what we are discussing and we won't reach any consensus..When ANCYL said Thabo Mbeki is a dictator no one spoke but when ANCYL is saying Zuma is a dictator. Some-1 is expelled!!!
Fact - This country won't have proper and accurate leader if the platform of discussing the leadership is not opened. It is hightime that the leadership should be discussed openly before we nominate. We must not confuss the nomination process with discussing the leadership. If the leadership is not discussed. It simply means that those who are elected to lead will relax because there is no follow up on their managerial style.

TheDictatorThe ANC itself has shown inconsistency in its disciplinary processes.
1.Why didn't they charge Malema for ridiculing Mbeki?
2.Why does disciplinary hearing start when he started ridiculing Zuma?
3.Why is it that KZN ANC can openly support Zuma for Mangaung and Mantashe does nothing about it?
4.Why do they exclusively charge Malema for Botswana issue if he was presenting a collective resolution of the ANCYL?Why didnt they charge the entire YL NEC?
So I condone the behaviour of these kids until we get some answers?
=============================================
Mr Mantashe said in 2011, ANC has promised to send a team of strategists to assist Zanu PF come up with an effective campaign strategy that would ensure victory for President Robert Mugabe in elections expected either next year or in 2013.
How different is this from what the ANCYL said about Botswana and yet no disciplinary steps taken against Mantashe? Zimbabwe is also a sovereign state.

for the fact Malema is a ANCYL President not ANC President, if he is charged and convicted with a constitution of ANC, he must be suspended in the ANC only. TO show that de ANC leadership is corrupt en they have a hiden agenda dey SUSPEND his Youth league participation, this show us corruption, e.g. to be a ANC member u complete a membership form, ANC member is not automatically ANCYL members u can check the constitution now. and again ANCYL member is not automatically ANC member, to participate in both parties u need t hv a membership for both of them. I want to state very clear MALEMA must retain his ANCYL presidency and membership.ZUMA and MANTASHE if they ar very strict with the constitution of the ANC, south africa was going to grow x4 economically. e.g. the POLOKWANE resolution ar not emplemented.AND GOVERNMENT and PRIVATE sector must produce JOBS and economic apportunities for youth, lets not blame MALEMA for lack of YOUTH activities.

We are either doped or we're trying to dope others. Who is carry who mandate on side of ANCYL's leadership. This ANCYL leadership was established on the thuggerism from onset, did not able to close the conference properly under leadership of Malema. The ANC president ,JZ was called to close it and advised on the ANCYL issues to be carried out as the ANCYL's mandate. From that time up to date the leadership of ANCYL has been involved language abusive and contravening the ANC's constitution.Under JZ leadership all tripatitte allies and ANCYL are welcome in any discussion or debates on the economic, social and political matters of the country.What made the ANCYL leadership run to media even before the conclusions taken from the collective platform. I think none of these leadership members are worth to be in any ANC's structure's leadership.
I strongly believe JZ is candidate to put ANC in order because he has all command to do so. After him, I see danger because all the suggested names come with calculated command. Actually even after he left his position must help the one who takes over the leadership position for period of time within ANC.
We all need the betterment of all black SA communities by own governing vanguard trully dedicated to really upliftment of all black south africans. S.A doesn't need any Western influenced or educated candidates to hold us unaction economic theories because all African countries' leaders who are western educated are proven to be remotely controlled on the mother land. They invest in western countries turned Africa a fighting groung and land of extracting minerals to Europe.
ANC is the people governing vanguard we must fight for it genuinely and refuse any hypocrates in it
