ANC YOUTH LEAGUE NATIONAL WORKING COMMITTEE STATEMENT:
28 March 2011
The National Working Committee of the ANC Youth League met on Thursday, the 24th of March 2011 to receive updates and reports towards the 24th National Congress of the ANC Youth League which will happen between the 16th and 20th of June 2011 in Johannesburg. The NWC accepted and discussed the draft discussion documents from the 24th National Congress' Drafting, Resolutions and Communications Committee.
The NWC appreciated the work done by the Drafting, Resolutions and Communications Committee and referred all the documents to the ANC Youth League National Executive Committee, which will happen between the 6th and 8th of April 2011 in Nelson Mandela Bay, Eastern Cape. The official launch of the Congress discussion documents will happen on the 10th of April 2011 in Luthuli House.
The NWC also received an update that thus far, 1330 ANC Youth League branches in good standing have gone to their respective Branch and Annual General Meetings and Congresses to elect delegates and prepare for the 24th National Congress. The NWC appreciates the reality that there were no incidents of successful disruptions to these processes, which will be replicated in the Regional and Provincial General Councils.
All branches of the ANC Youth League are expected to convene their Branch and Annual General Meetings before the 30th of April 2011 to allow the audit process to begin. The NWC calls on all Provincial and Regional Executive Committees to expedite the processes of Branch and Annual General Meetings and selection of delegates, particularly that currently, more than half of the branches expected to attend Congress have convened their BGMs and AGMs.
