ANC Statement on recent SRC elections, 4 October 2013 Myth of Young People Being Anti-Congress Debunked The African National Congress congratulates the Progressive Youth Alliance (PYA) in general and the South African Students Congress (SASCO) in particular on resounding and overwhelming victories recorded in the recent Student Representative Council (SRC) elections held around the country. The results of these elections have unequivocally debunked the myth spread by many that young people do not have faith in the Mass Democratic Movement and the African National Congress. In many campuses, SASCO and the ANC Youth League, contested and defeated those who posture as having the monopoly of the youth vote, particularly the middle class youth vote. This notion has been rejected by the children of Mandela, sending a clear message that young people are secure in the knowledge that the true representatives of their aspirations is the Congress Movement. We trust that never again, should others seek to speak on their behalf, calling them "born-free" with the intention to isolate them from the struggles of our people and our collective history. It is with pride that the ANC lauds this generation of the children of Mandela for explicitly making their voices heard through the ballot, reaffirming their conviction in the Congress movement in Universities such as Wits, Nelson Mandela Metropolitan (previously led by DASO). In the University of the Western Cape, young people have rejected the oft-touted myth that the DA delivers for all by conferring upon SASCO 100% of the seats available in the Council. The African National Congress calls upon the PYA to consolidate their gains by closing ranks against opportunistic elements, displaying unity in action across all its components and serving young people with selflessness, diligence and distinction. We have no doubt the PYA will never betray the confidence the youth continues to have in the Congress movement.
