The ANCYL Gauteng Province has noted with concern the comments in the New
Age of 7 November 2012 attributed to our Deputy Chairperson, Cde Simon
Molefe, suggesting that President Jacob Zuma should be supported for a
second term at the forthcoming ANC 53rd National Conference in Mangaung.

Whilst we acknowledge that individuals in the organization are entitled
to express their personal views, we wish to state upfront that the
position expressed in the New Age is not the collective view of the ANCYL
Gauteng Province.

We further note the pronouncement by the ANCYL NEC on its leadership
preference and respect that, however, as a structure, we are yet to
consolidate our views and will engage the relevant structures to advance
our views. We respect the ANC processes and we shall subject ourselves to
the discipline of the organisation. We reaffirm our confidence in the
leadership collective of the Provincial Executive Committee of the ANC
and we call upon on all members who have concerns to raise them within
the organisation. Any deviation from these norms, especially un-mandated
public pronouncements shall not be tolerated, as such; internal
disciplinary processes shall be invoked.
