A leadership dispute within the African National Congress Youth League was resolved through mediation by the party's Secretary-General, Fikile Mbalula. The intervention addressed a conflict described as a civil war, which had involved competing suspensions between President Collen Malatji and Secretary-General Mntuwoxolo Ngudle. This reconciliation occurred just weeks before the league's scheduled National Congress at the University of Limpopo.
The African National Congress released a statement commending the youth wing for its maturity and discipline in resolving the internal challenges. The parent organization expressed full confidence in the league's leadership as it prepares for its upcoming congress.
The dispute had centered on preparations for the elective gathering, including accusations about the handling of accreditation materials. The ANC's engagement successfully averted a potential crisis, reinforcing the youth league's role in advocating for issues like youth unemployment.
