On Thursday, 22 November 2012 the African National Congress (ANC)
Youth League officially nominated the following comrades for the ANC’s
elective conference in Mangaung next month. This message was formally
communicated to the public last week.



·          Kgalema Motlanthe - President

·         Mathews Phosa - Deputy President

·         Thandi Modise - Chairperson

·         Fikile Mbalula - Secretary-General

·         Thenjiwe Mtintso - Deputy Secretary-General

·         Tokyo Sexwale - Treasurer-General



The nominations followed robust and rigorous discussions by current
members of the ANC Youth League NEC. Before then we underwent a
thorough process within ANC Youth League structures and they had their
discussions, lobbied amongst themselves and made their nominations.
The Independent Electoral Commission (IEC) was responsible for
overseeing our nomination process at the national nomination meeting
and they announced the results from the voting.



Contrary to media reports today, Julius Malema was not party to the
discussions at regional, provincial and national level and he
therefore has nothing to do with the outcomes of the ANC Youth League
nomination process. Julius Malema has also not been involved in any
official ANC Youth League activities since he was expelled by the ANC.
This is a by-product of the ANC internal disciplinary process and it
is binding to all structures of the ANC.


At the end of the day, the collective decided that the above-mentioned
comrades led by comrade Kgalema Motlanthe would be best suited to
fulfil the ANC political programme and bring about organisational
renewal
