ANC Youth League Exposes Generational Political Rupture
At its 27th National Congress at the University of Limpopo, the ANC Youth League highlighted a widening generational rupture within the African National Congress, arguing the party's post-1969 strategic framework no longer aligns with young South Africans' lived experience. It cites weak growth (average GDP below 1% since 2008), youth unemployment above 50%, and roughly 19 million under-35s, and calls for industrial policy, skills investment, and renewed institutional listening to restore credibility.
