Court bid to stop ANCYL conference
An urgent court application to stop the ANC Youth League’s elective conference from going ahead will be heard at the High Court in Pretoria on Thursday.
Disgruntled members from North West approached the court on the eve of the congress seeking the court to stop the conference, alleging the irregular auditing of branches.
“There is what we call gate-keeping where certain members are denied the opportunity to attend the conference to influence the outcome. We learnt that registers during ward meeting were signed in the streets,” said Arafat Molamu, one of the disgruntled members.
He said most of the branches in North West were not active and he wondered how they had managed to attend the provincial general council.
“We want the court to help in understanding the league constitution. Our application will be heard at 4pm.”
The ANCYL conference is scheduled to start in Midrand on Friday. - ANA
