The ANC Youth League leadership will be appearing before the ANC Disciplinary Hearing from Tuesday, the 30th of August 2011 to answer to the case that has been brought by the ANC. The ANC YL leadership respects the internal process of the ANC and will at all times be guided by the directives and guidelines of the ANC leadership collective, its policies and Constitution. The ANC Youth League appreciates the massive support we have received from so many South Africans, members of the international community and fraternal organisations.

It has come to our attention through media reports that many people from across the country, the ANC Youth and ANC will descend to Johannesburg to give support to the ANC YL leadership appearing before the ANC Disciplinary Committee from the 30th of August 2011. Those who come to pledge support should do so with restraint and show maximum levels of discipline. Any person who will come to Luthuli House to display support should be disciplined, and this applies to the Security Officers of the State at all levels.

The ANC Youth League will never be associated with unruly, disruptive elements and agent provocateurs who want to portray genuine support and solidarity gathering in bad light.
