DAMASCUS OF THE DAMNED - Blackballing Attempts Aimed at Ostracising Limpopo Government Aimed at Confusing the People:
The African National Congress Youth League (ANCYL) Limpopo perceives as suspicious the timing of National Government's decision to place Five Limpopo provincial government departments "under administration".
Against the backdrop of persistently ignored positive reports of successful, clean audits by the Auditor General; we believe this action, led by National Treasury, is a disingenuous attempt - which is informed by political manoeuvring, to alienate ANC members of Limpopo from its leaders.
The ANC in Limpopo has just concluded its audit-approved branch nominations in preparation for conference between 17 and 20 December. We find it curious that this announcement follows on the heels of the closure of the leadership nominations linked to mandatory pre-conference procedure.
The Youth League in Limpopo believes that the timing of this recent campaign is aimed at reducing the confidence of ANC members in the current leadership. With the hope that if a negative impression is created around our leaders in government that this will change the nomination pattern of ANC branch delegates going to conference in about ten days' time.
This is an anarchic attempt to reverse the psychological beating that the branch nominations have revealed for some hopefuls who see themselves as emerging Limpopo ANC leaders.
