THE ANC Youth League (ANCYL) crisis committee announced on Sunday that it is taking the mother body to court in a bid to seek an urgent order declaring the National Youth Task Team (NYTT) illegal.
The ANC’s National Executive Committee (NEC) appointed the NYTT in July last year to revive the youth league, which was liquidated in 2018.
Earlier this year, the NYTT was expected to organize a national conference of the youth league to elect the ANCYL’s new leaders, but these plans were changed after the outbreak of the novel coronavirus pandemic.
Other high-profile members of the NYTT include convenor Thandi Mahambehlala, co-ordinator Sibongile Besani, former ministers Malusi Gigaba and Nomvula Mokonyane, and Transport Minister Fikile Mbalula, ANC spokesperson Pule Mabe, Dakota Legoete, Faith Muthambi, Justice and Correctional Services Minister Ronald Lamola and Deputy Minister of Finance David Masondo.
