Cde Fusi, for me the report is neither here nor there. In fact, disciplinary action or leadership change won't wash. It won't benefit the ANC either to write off the youth league leadership under the circumstances. We have seen the worst during the term of former president Thabo Mbeki, where ANC members burnt ANC T-shirts and shouted insults at him. All of this exposed a lack of political education within our ranks, of which a political school was a platform to address such aberrent behavior. It does not follow therefore that ordinary youth league members are expected to observe the highest level of discipline when there is disorder from within bordering on lack of political education. It's a trite principle of law that any charge must be brought against the offender within a reasonable time and ill-discipline warrants an immediate sanction. What we see now is an employment of pure political expediency - a recipe for organisational paralysis. To this end, the root cause of the present shenanigans were exacerbated by the party's refusal to give the youth league a hearing to bolster a political solution. We can only hope that the next ordinary meeting of the ANC NEC will review a decision of the national disciplinary committee and throw away the charges in the best interest of the organisation. Remain, Morgan Phaahla

The sixth paragraph reads thus: The plan included packing the interim structure with youth leaders purged or suspended by Malema from the league. It would be led by Limpopo youth leader Julius Malema as national convener and ANCYL Eastern Cape chairperson Ayanda Matiti as secretary-general. If this is true, then it means we are being hoodwinked by the journalists or the ANC is running around in circles. I hope you see the source of my confusion.
