ANC youth apologise after being ticked off for talking out of turn on party elders
The eThekwini ANC Youth League has received a tongue-lashing for speaking out of turn about ANC treasurer-general Zweli Mkhize and finance minister Pravin Gordhan. This led to them issuing an apology on Monday night. "The ANCYL Ethekwini region held an engagement with the leadership of the ANC on a number of organisational issues," EThekwini ANCYL secretary Thint Cibane said. "The youth league understands its existence to be a body of opinion within the movement. "Following engagements with the ANC‚ we have come to differently appreciate the leadership of the ANC in determining the future of ministers and all other deployees. "We accordingly respect the opportunity given to us to be engaged by the ANC on the matter of Cde Pravin Gordhan and therefore regret comments made in this regard. "We therefore wish to unconditionally apologise to Comrade Pravin Gordhan‚" said Cibane.
