RESEARCH on the nationalisation of mines is being carried out by the ANC, its youth league said yesterday
"Our call for the nationalisation of mines is firmly on the programme of the ANC and research (is) being done by the ANC on how best (to) take ownership and control of mines and mineral resources," spokesperson Floyd Shivambu said.
"Nationalisation of mines and the realisation of all Freedom Charter clauses remain on the agenda and will be the solution."
Among the topics at the organisation's three-day lekgotla was the coming by-elections.
It resolved to woo voters in the DA-run Western Cape ahead of the local government elections.
"(We) are more than ready to mobilise all young people to vote for the ANC because it is the only organisation that is capable of leading our communities to sustainable livelihoods," he said.
The national executive committee agreed to adopt a programme and propose interventions that would address unemployment.
The lekgotla was addressed by ANC deputy president Kgalema Motlanthe and former ANCYL president Fikile Mbalula.
"The inputs of both comrades were very empowering and inspirational," Shivambu said.
He noted that the youth wing was "organisationally and politically" stable to "profoundly influence" the country's political discourse.
