ANCYL facing 'deliberate' sabotage by senior ANC members
12 November 2019
A united ANC Youth League is a threat to senior officials of its mother body, says a high-ranking member of the party's National Youth Task Team (NYTT).
The NYTT's convener, Thandi Mahambehlala, says the violence which has rocked the troubled league "is a deliberate move" by some of the ruling party's members.
Lethabo Nkoana, 25, was shot and killed, while another ANCYL member was wounded at a rally at Temba Stadium on Saturday. ANCYL members were being briefed on developments for the wing's intended congress and the state of the organisation.
During a visit to Nkoana's home in Mamelodi on Monday, Mahambehlala alleged that members of the mother body were instigating violence in a deliberate attempt to sabotage the ANCYL's upcoming conference.
