The newly elected president of the ANC Youth League, Collen Malatji, has come under fire for failing to focus on the league’s mandate. In his first speech as president, Malatji made headlines for talking about Julius Malema, the former president of the league. Malatji said that he “hates” Malema and that he would never follow in his footsteps. This has led to criticism from many quarters, who say that Malatji is more interested in scoring political points than in addressing the challenges facing young people in South Africa.
Tony Yengeni, an ANC veteran, has said that the ANC Youth League must “refuse to be diverted” and focus on its primary mandate. Yengeni said that the league needs to “address the challenges and aspirations of the youth” if it wants to be taken seriously. Social critics have also argued that Malatji made a fool of himself by answering a question about how he feels about Malema. They say that he should have refused to answer the question and focused on his speech.
An EFF member said that Malatji is “behaving like a bitter person” by dragging Malema’s name through the mud. The EFF member said that Malatji is “trying to use Malema’s name for political popularity” but that he will “fail just like Malema did.” The ANC Youth League has a long history of being involved in political squabbles. However, many people believe that the league needs to focus on its mandate and address the challenges facing young people in South Africa.
The ANC Youth League has the potential to be a powerful force for good in South Africa. But it needs to focus on its mandate and address the challenges facing young people. If the league does not do this, it will continue to be irrelevant and will fail to make a difference in the lives of young people.
If the ANC Youth League does these things, it can make a real difference in the lives of young people in South Africa. However, if the league continues to focus on political squabbles, it will fail to achieve its potential.
