ANCYL co-ordinator quits after being left in the dark on Zuma statement
6 February 2020
ANC Youth League (ANCYL) national task team co-ordinator Sibongile Besani has resigned after calling out the structure for releasing a statement in his name, which lambasted the courts for issuing a warrant of arrest for former president Jacob Zuma, without consulting him.
The task team said in a statement it was disgusted by a KwaZulu-Natal High Court decision to accede to a request by the prosecutor to issue a warrant of arrest for Zuma for failing to attend his corruption trial in Pietermaritzburg.
The task team was appointed last year to help prepare the ANCYL for next month's 26 th national conference.
The arrest warrant was suspended until Zuma's next court appearance on May 6.
