ANCYL distances itself from Kathrada memorial interruptions
10 April 2017
Durban – The ANCYL in KwaZulu-Natal has distanced itself from the actions of its members who interrupted the final Ahmed Kathrada memorial in Durban on Sunday.
"There were a few individuals, not everyone. The ANCYL engaged with those people after the memorial service, saying their behaviour was uncalled for," spokesperson Mandla Shange told News24 on Monday.
The memorial for struggle icon Ahmed Kathrada in Durban, the last in a string of services around the country, was marred by interruptions and outbursts from ANCYL members.
The Durban High Court on Saturday said the league’s members could attend the event, but it interdicted them from inciting violence, intimidating anyone there, or causing any disruptions.
