The African National Congress Youth League notes the Court judgment handed out by the Grahamstown High Court on Friday the 9th of July 2010. The Court judgment has effectively interdicted the Eastern Cape Provincial Congress as per the request of the dissolved Provincial Executive Committee in the Province.

The ANC YL disagrees with the judgment because it moves from the premise that the ANC Youth League is a federal organisation, despite the provisions of ANC Youth League Constitution and other policy documents that the organisation is unitary and bound by principles of democratic centralism. In terms of these principles, decisions of higher structures bind all lower structures. The ANC Youth League believes that Court actions against the organisation are unacceptable and totally alien to the movement, but responded to Court action to avoid unsustainable judgments and misinterpretation of our internal process by the Courts.

The ANC Youth League has instructed Lawyers to appeal the judgment in order to put the record straight and defend the unitary character and democratic centralism principles of the ANC Youth League.
