THE KwaZulu-Natal provincial task team appointed by the national executive committee of the ANC Youth League will ask the regional executive committee of its Lower South Region to investigate the heckling of its deputy general-secretary Kenetswe Mosenogi.
The task team was established after the ANCYL NEC disbanded the KwaZulu-Natal provincial executive committee (PEC) following their fallout over whether President Jacob Zuma should serve a second term.
Mosenogi was booed and insulted at the funeral of ANC councillor and chief whip in the Hibiscus Coast municipality, Wandile Mkhize.
The funeral was attended by senior ANC leaders including President Jacob Zuma.
While Mosenogi was giving a message of support on behalf of the ANCYL, praising Mkhize as a leader who "in him we knew we had a comrade who had the best interests of youth at heart and who believed in economic transformation", some mourners, especially the youth, hurled insults and swore at her.
Provincial task team member Thami Shezi said they would engage their Lower South Coast regional executive committee to investigate the matter.
"As the ANCYL, we are not in collusion with people who use funerals - a state of mourning for our fallen member - for political scores. To have people behave in that manner while the family was mourning is a disgrace. It's not the ANC culture to be disrespectful and ill-disciplined and those who conducted themselves in that fashion must be dealt with."
He said ANC members knew that having a different view did not mean enemies. "You don't become barbaric. If they had some grievances or concerns about anything done by the NEC of the youth league they know the correct procedures and processes to follow in expressing them.
"We trust the REC of Lower South Coast and we will engage them to investigate and take proper actions. If it is found those people who did that were from outside the region, they will be dealt with in their regions," Shezi said.

The truth of the matter that hamper the development of the ANCYL is lack of quality education to enlighten viciousness and general knowledge to our young lions to make explicit informed decisions.Those of us who came out of exile or prisons or the liberation movement underground or out of the metaphoric dungeons of economic, social and political deprivation into the sudden freedom of the 1990s arrived into a world and a system that had set standards and expectations and objectives for freedom that trapped us before we had a chance to know what hit us and to apply some sort of moral compass.

MicaParis. The struggle "ended" in 1994. Don't tell me that the pathetic bunch of kids one sees here were in exile. Most of them were not even born yet. They know nothing of the struggle and are simply mouthing slogans learned from a group of power crazed fools.Report Abuse

@MicaParisDo your research. The kids in the ANCYL today know nothing about the struggle. Even Julius himself. So please, spare such comments to your ANCYL ill conceived forums.
