The African National Congress Youth League (ANCYL) believes it is being attacked in the media by ANC Deputy President Kgalema Motlanthe. In a statement on Friday, the ANCYL said it was "concerned and very disturbed by the media statements and articulations" of Motlanthe carried in the Mail&Guardian and City Press. "The deputy president continues without mandate to attack the ANC Youth League leadership in the media, despite our commitment that we will constantly engage with him and the ANC on the resolutions and positions of the Youth League," said spokesperson Floyd Shavambu.
