The Democratic Alliance is set to file criminal charges against Higher Education Minister Nobuhle Nkabane today at Cape Town Central Police Station. The DA claims Nkabane misled Parliament regarding an independent panel and the appointment of ANC-linked individuals to a SETA Board.

ANC Youth League President Collen Malatji says they will be engaging ANC Secretary General Fikile Mbalula on a solution to include more young people on the provincial party list.

ANC Youth League leader Collen Malatji says “the ANC pays you for being born, pays you for living, pays you to go to school, pays you to go to university and gives your mother water and electricity”. He was speaking at Alexandra Stadium in Johannesburg, praising the governing party's efforts but lamenting youth unemployment as one of the party's challenges. He suggested minerals should be used to solve the social and economic challenges.“It can't be that the youth of this country remain the face of poverty when they live in a country blessed with raw materials”.

Collen Malatji, the ANC Youth League president, says the ANC will win 100% of votes, and post elections if President Cyril Ramaphosa fails to deliver on promises, the youth league will “overthrow him and [ANC secretary-general] Mbalula” because the league are “not cowards”. The party has been on a constant decline since the 2009 national elections. It received 57.50% in national voter support at the last general elections (2019). And those in the know anticipate its further decline in this year's elections. But not according to Malatji, who believes his party will get a whopping “100%” this year in voter support, leaving its opponents with 0%. He said he told President Ramaphosa their youth league was not peaceful. Malatji demands young people's social and economic challenges, such as unemployment, be resolved after elections. Failing which, if Ramaphosa and Mbalula don't address their grievances, they will be pushed aside. “If the SG and president of the ANC don't deliver on our demands we will remove them and install ourselves and lead the country.”

The ANC says it is rigorously vetting through the party's list of potential members of Parliament and provincial legislatures. The party has been accused of retaining members implicated in State Capture. This as the ANC scrambles to meet tomorrow's (Friday) deadline set by the IEC for submission of lists.

ANC Youth League president Collen Malatji says the private sector should remove work experience as a requirement for entry level jobs to address the high unemployment rate. In September last year government said previous work experience would no longer be a requirement for entry level government jobs and it has since advertised junior level vacancies that require no previous work exposure. President Cyril Ramaphosa has repeatedly called on companies to get rid of work experience for young people applying for entry level positions at their firms.

He focused on unemployment and programmes for youth development.

The African National Congress, ANC turns 112 today. The party was founded on the 8th of January 1912 in Bloemfontein and is the oldest liberation movement in Africa. ANC members are already gathering for this weekend's 112th birthday celebrations in Mbombela, Mpumlanga. The gathering comes at a time when the governing party - Which has been in power since the dawn of democracy in 1994 - faces electoral uncertainty ahead of this year's national elections. To elaborate further on the party's milestones and challenges since its inception, Elvis Presslin spoke to ANC Youth League spokesperson Zama Khanyase and Alliance partner, SACP Spokesperson and Secretary for Policy and Research, Dr. Alex Mashilo

The African National Congress in KwaZulu-Natal accused former president Jacob Zuma of "gross ill-discipline" for publicly "divorcing the ANC" by backing the uMkhonto weSizwe Party. Provincial secretary Bheki Mtolo was scathing in his assessment of Zuma's political maneuvering. He was speaking at the Garden Court Hotel in Durban's beachfront before a large contingent of journalists and various wings and partners of the ANC in the province, including Cosatu and the ANC Youth League. On Saturday, 81-year-old Zuma held a press briefing at the Ipelegeng Centre in Soweto where he denounced the "ANC of Ramaphosa" and said he would not campaign for the party in the upcoming elections. Instead, he would vote for the newly formed MK Party, which is named after the ANC's military wing during apartheid. Zuma said the party was registered with the Electoral Commission of South Africa with his "knowledge and blessings". He also said he would be establishing a "patriotic front" to "steer the ship of total liberation". In recent months, he said he met with "leaders of our people across the spectrum", including 10 registered political parties. They discussed the formation of a patriotic front and a voting bloc after the election to pursue "a minimum consensus programme" where they have at least 10 common points they agree on. Mtolo said that for the first time in the ANC's 111 years of existence, "a former president and outstanding leader of our movement announces publicly his decision to vote for another political party, and effectively campaign for that party". He added: We view that as literally divorcing the ANC and leaving the ANC to make another political formation. This is a form of gross ill-discipline. In the ANC's constitution, the party lists under acts of misconduct: "joining or supporting a political organisation or party, other than an organisation in alliance with the ANC, in a manner contrary to the aims, objectives and policy of the ANC" and "acting as the election agent or canvasser of a person standing in such election for any political party and in opposition to a candidate duly endorsed by the national executive committee or provincial executive committee". Meanwhile, Mtolo said the ANC in the province was faring well, winning four recent by-elections, including two in Msunduzi and one in eThekwini. The party has, however, seen some decline in support in KZN in recent years with the Inkatha Freedom Party, Democratic Alliance and smaller parties eating into the ANC's once guaranteed stronghold. Mtolo said that the KZN branch of the ANC was focused on the upcoming elections, adding that the recent by-election wins indicated what the populace wanted. "It is clear that the people of KZN, the masses, who are the true assessors of the progress made by the ANC, have shown their support." New MK Party has nothing to do with ANC Mtolo said the ANC wanted to make it clear that the true uMkhonto weSizwe was launched on 16 December 1961. He said the new uMkhonto weSizwe was not "genuine". "It is a party disguised to lure voters and loyal members of the ANC to think it is the same thing as uMkhonto weSizwe of the ANC." He said the requirements to join the ANC's uMkhonto weSizwe were clear. "You should have a force number, know your commander, know your cell and the camp you were in during exile. The [MK Party] has recruitment forms, they recruit anyone. Even my child born in 2000 can be part of this." He said the "real" uMkhonto weSizwe was still a part of the ANC and would continue to campaign for the party in the run up to the 2024 general elections. "They will be in our campaign working with us door to door, asking the people of KZN to vote for ANC. We are happy with the reception we are receiving from people in KZN who still have hope of ANC." On Saturday, the ANC sought to lay claim to the legacy of MK by issuing a statement to mark the 62nd anniversary of uMkhonto weSizwe. "As the ANC, we hold the collective members of MK in t...

ANC Youth League members – who travelled to Ukraine at the invitation of Russia to oversee so-called referendums – deny they're Russian puppets. On 12 October, 143 nations of the world voted in favour of condemning the referendums that took place in Kherson, Donetsk, Luhansk and Zaporizhzhia. They concluded it was a sham and an illegal land grab by the Russian Federation. South Africa chose to abstain from voting on that particular resolution and has consistently refused to condemn Russia's invasion; instead, positioning itself as a non-aligned country interested only in peace. Subsequent to the outcome of those referendums, Russia has officially annexed the four areas that make up 15% of Ukraine. North Korea is the only UN member state that recognises Russia's annexation of the partially occupied regions. BizNews correspondent Michael Appel spoke to ANCYL chairperson of the International Relations Committee, Khulekani Skosana, about its mission as election observers. He refuses to divulge who exactly invited them and paid for the trip. Skosana is adamant what Russia did on 24 February “is in response to the permeation of Nazi extremism that targets a particular ethnic group. Ukraine has also been responsible for killing Ukrainian citizens of Russian descent”. This is a wide-ranging interview with Skosana expressing his views on everything from the war in Ukraine to political issues in South Africa, including the idea of Cape independence. He says, “Settlers cannot come and tell us they want [Cape] independence in our country.” Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Ukraine's Ambassador to South Africa, Luibov Abravitova, is seeking clarity from DIRCO about whether or not ANC Youth League members travelled to occupied territories in east and southern Ukraine to act as election observers in recent referendums. Four occupied regions of Ukraine - Kherson, Zaporizhzhia, Luhansk, and Donetsk - which make up about 15% of that country, recently held referendums on whether or not to join Russia. The UN, EU, US and Nato-aligned countries regard the referendums as illegitimate, illegal and a sham. Abravitova told BizNews that if ANCYL members are there, "they violated Ukraine's immigration laws by entering into Ukraine". The ambassador refused to be drawn on internal political matters after the DA sought clarity on who funded the trip. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Members of the ANC Youth League are currently acting as "election observers" in occupied territories in Ukraine where referendums were held over five days. Voting took place to decide whether residents of the four regions of Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson and Zaporizhzhia wanted to be incorporated into Russia. It's a move widely viewed as a pretext to the full annexation of that area by Russia. BizNews spoke to Steven Gruzd, head of the Russia/Africa programme at the South African Institute of International Affairs for his take on the truly bizarre involvement of ANCYL members in what many around the world consider a "sham".
