In a bold move, African National Congress Youth League (ANCYL) President Collen Malatji has given President Cyril Ramaphosa an ultimatum: implement economic reforms by December or face the consequences. Malatji delivered this stern warning during a march from Luthuli House to the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE) in Sandton, emphasizing the need for a more inclusive economy
Malatji stressed that if Ramaphosa fails to deliver, he will mobilize South Africa’s youth and take drastic action, including potentially taking over the Union Buildings. This comes as the country’s youth grows increasingly frustrated with the slow pace of economic transformation
ANCYL Key Demands
- Structural changes to South Africa’s economy to reflect the country’s demographics
- Economic empowerment for young South Africans
- Increased opportunities to tackle high unemployment rates
