Young people
African National Congress (ANC) Youth League president Collen Malatji has urged President Cyril Ramaphosa to consider appointing young people as ministers, deputy ministers and MECs to form a stable government.
Addressing the media on the league’s response to the Government of the National Unity at Luthuli House, Malatji says the league supports the GNU.
“We applaud the ANC for its strategy on an inclusive approach in forming a government of national unity. This decision reflects the ANC dedication to unit the stability and focus. The ANCYL will not compromise on policies that are critical and policies that contradict the principle of GNU.”
