The African National Congress Youth League welcomes the cabinet announced by South Africa's President, the Honourable Jacob Zuma.  The ANC YL believes that the cabinet announced will give practical meaning to the ANC Manifesto and indeed build sustainable livelihoods for all. The ANC YL is particularly pleased by the generational mix in the new cabinet, particularly the appointment of graduates of the ANC YL.

The ANC YL will closely monitor and work with all the Ministers and Deputy Ministers announced in pursuit of better life for all, with specific focus on youth development. We wish all the cabinet Ministers well and rededicate our readiness to work with all them in pursuit of development.
