The ANC Youth League has vowed to appeal against an order of the Grahamstown High Court which prevented the party from holding its elective congress in Grahamstown which was scheduled for last weekend,The order granted by Justice Nomathamsanqa Beshe.
 

Justice Beshe also declared the disbandment of the party’s Eastern Cape Provincial Executive Committee (PEC) led by Mlibo Qoboshiyane as “unlawful” overturned last month’s decision taken by the party’s National Working Committee (NWC) to disband the EC ANCYL’s PEC after two chaotic elective conferences.

“The ANC Youth League has instructed lawyers to appeal the judgement in order to put the record straight and defend the unitary character and democratic centralism principles of the ANC Youth League,” said national spokesperson Floyd Shivambu in a media statement.

He added that they disagree with the order because the ANC Youth League is unitary and bound by principles of democratic centralism.

“In terms of these principles, decisions of higher structures bind all lower structures,” Shivambu explained. He added that the party believes that court actions against it are unacceptable and totally “alien” to the movement.

Meanwhile, Mlibo Qoboshiyane who launched the court application on behalf of the PEC said that they were disbanded by NWC for no “apparent reason”, arguing that the PEC failed to attend a meeting which was called by the NWC.

“No one can walk into a province and disband it, it does not work like that,” said Mlibo Qoboshiyane, the EC youth league’s  provincial chairperson.

At a meeting facilitated by ANC Secretary General Gwede Mantashe on Wednesday all parties agreed to another meeting which will plan for a properly convened provincial congress.

This  meeting will convene at Calata House – ANC provincial headquarters in King William’s Town – later this week and will be attended by the ANCYL NWC, ANC NEC and ANCYL PEC.

“The PEC is going to prepare for the sixth provincial congress before the end of July 2010 (preferably the last week of July),” he added.
