THE ANC Youth League's message of support reached the printers too late to be included in the ANC's centenary support message booklet, ANC spokesman Jackson Mthembu said yesterday.

Mthembu said the ANC received all except the ANC Women's League and ANCYL's messages by the January 3 deadline.

But ANCYL spokesman Floyd Shivambu said as far as he knew no request was made for a message.

The ANC indicated before the celebrations that no messages of support would be delivered at the January 8 event at the Free State Stadium.

Party president Jacob Zuma would be the only speaker.

The ANCWL and the ANCYL were apparently asked to submit their messages before January 4, when the booklet was scheduled to go for printing.
