STATEMENT ON MATTERS OF INTEREST BETWEEN THE ANC AND THE ANC YOUTH LEAGUE

2 September 2008

The ANC officials met with the ANCYL National Working Committee (NWC) yesterday (1 September 2008) to discuss matters of interest between the two organisations.

On the agenda were:

• Co-ordination of policy and strategy, and communication.
• Youth development.
• Support for ANC President Jacob Zuma.

It was agreed to handle internal differences internally to avoid any public spats. Both organisations retain the right to robustly raise issues of public interest without accusations and attacks on the other.
