SACP brings no value to the ANC - Youth League
Durban - Public mudslinging continued between the South African Communist Party (SACP) and the African National Congress Youth League (ANCYL) in KwaZulu-Natal on Monday with the latter launching a fresh salvo during a press briefing.
The "young lions" called on the SACP to refrain from discussing ANC leadership issues - this as the province prepared to elect a new eThekwini regional chair and new provincial chairperson.
The two highly contested positions would see eThekwini mayor James Nxumalo go head-to-head with councillor Zandile Gumede for the regional chair.
Current chairperson Senzo Mchunu and provincial secretary Sihle Zikalala take on each other for the provincial chair position.
On Monday, the league blamed the SACP for leaking a story to The Sunday Times saying the ANCYL had met deputy president Cyril Ramaphosa in KwaZulu-Natal and informed him it would support Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma for president in 2017.
