ANC Youth League to hold national congress

The African National Congress Youth League (ANCYL) will hold its national congress this weekend to elect its new leadership, among others.

The league last held its congress in 2015 which elected Collen Maine as its president.

Preparations for the congress have been plagued by infighting and lack of funds.
