Newly re-elected provincial secretary of the KwaZulu-Natal ANC Youth League Thanduxolo Sabelo has called for Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan’s head.
Speaking at the close of the league’s three-day elective conference in Durban on Sunday‚ Sabelo said it was time for President Jacob Zuma to “rescue the country“.
He urged Zuma to replace the embattled Gordhan with a finance minister who was competent.
Sabelo‚ who is a strong backer of presidential hopeful Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma‚ retained his position as provincial secretary. Kwazi Mshengu‚ who held the deputy chairman post‚ was elected chairman.
Sabelo‚ who has used his powerful position to promote Dlamini-Zuma‚demanded that youth development be a priority of the provincial ANC.
Sabelo also called for the national and provincial legislature to have a representation of 40% young people.
He said companies requiring experience for entry-level jobs had to be scrapped.
“On-the-job training is what is needed. The time of the youth is now“.
