"Think about it. The ANC Youth League is utterly and totally useless. It exists solely as a vanity project for guys who aren’t allowed to play with the big boys".
would like to know how you came to this conclusion!!!
OK. Enlighten me. What is the explicit purpose of the ANC Youth League?
dude, i asked you a question about a statement you made (and published) and now you responding by asking a question. didn't your grade 1 teacher tell you that you dont answer a question with another question? lol. I think you need to differentiate between ANCYL leadership and the rank and file on the branch level.
As far as i know the ANCYL is a platform for young people to raise their issues and participate in the democracy. its a space for all those young people who vote for the ANC during election (whether they believe in ANC's economic policies or they vote for it because of the party's history or because there is no alternative...i really dont know).
At a branch level the members have to ensure that youth issues are part of the municipalties Integrated Development Plans (IDP). im not a member of the ANCYL or any political party for that matter!!!
Sorry. Don't buy it. In other words, it's a campaign organ for the ANC. Julius Malema knows as much about youth issues as Manto knew about HIV.
you haven't answered my question, Rob!!!
