Two vie for ANCYL presidency

Two candidates have been nominated for the vacant post of ANC Youth League (ANCYL) president at the organisation’s national congress in Bloemfontein.

ANCYL spokesman Zizi Kodwa said the Electoral Commission’s report showed only one nomination for ANCYL president, that of Julius Malema.

"The name of Comrade Saki (Mofokeng) was nominated from the floor and qualified," Kodwa said.

"We have two names."

Kodwa said the new national executive would be announced as soon as the elections processes were finished.

It is expected to be sometime during tonight.

Kodwa said the Youth League’s congress started "normally" today.

"The congress has come to normality to what we had expected two and a half days ago."

The conference at the Callie Human Centre at the University of the Free State has marked the past two days with strong campaigning for Malema and Mofokeng while the registration process and verification took the better part of three days.

Kodwa confirmed that some delegates had been "barred", by provincial structures from the conference following incidents of disturbances and ill behaviour.

The verification process of delegates was finished before proceedings started today and was one of the first things adopted by the congress this morning.

Some 3 643 delegates have voting rights at the conference representing some 2 052 branches.

Kodwa said the conference would go into commissions after the nomination process had been completed and continue for the rest of today.

There was a strong possibility that the conference would continue into Monday.
