ANCYL 'never contacted' us about 'military training' weekend – Camp Zenith
30 July 2019
The campsite where the ANC Youth League (ANCYL) in Johannesburg was preparing to offer its members military training, gun handling and guerilla tactics knows nothing about the event.
Camp Zenith says it was "never contacted" by the ANCYL, adding that ''the intent is to train citizens for warfare is definitely against the values of our peace-loving campsite".
An advert has been making the rounds about an ANCYL spring weekend getaway in August that will include these activities, and costing each member R500, News24 reported. The ANCYL's Bheki Nkutha confirmed to 702 that the advert was indeed real.
The activities listed include flag-pole raising and lowering (sic), an obstacle course, swimming, hiking, military training, gun handling and guerrilla tactics at Camp Zenith in Heidelberg.
