The ANC Youth League's Task Team has distanced itself from a group of people who were allegedly inciting violence in a bid to take over spaza shops owned by foreign nationals.
It said it would investigate if the group of four were ANCYL members as they were allegedly using the name of the league during the alleged acts.
The logo of the ANCYL features prominently on the pamphlet next to an inciting message which reads: “Foreigners must hand over keys to local youth with immediate effect.” When Independent Media called Mochaka and Rulashe on Tuesday, they both said the group is working on a press statement and it would be sent out to the media. No statement had been issued by the time this article was published.
When he was asked whether the campaign had the blessing of the ANCYL, Nkutha did not respond to that question and said instead that they are “members of the ANCYL.” ANCLY Task Team spokesperson Sizophila Mkhize said the league had nothing to do with the poster or the campaign. She added that it goes against their policies, resolutions and code of conduct as the league.
