An illusion behind the ressuration of the ANCYL. Those of us who have understood the indepth sharpened contradictions resulting disbanding of the ANCYL after the expulsion of Cde Juju Malema . Know very well and feel sorry for those naive young people who think the ANCYL can be resurrected out of its artificial flesh stuffed skeleton mainly created by the media and the ANC . For the second time in History the ANCYL became radical against liberals who continue want us as the Black Working Class majority to beg for true liberation . The ANCYL of 1944 of Sobukwe , Mda and ofcourse Mandela marked the turning point of this countrys politics which gave birth to the Programme of Action which also received huge condemnation from the senior native conservatives who were used to moderate parsifist modus operandi , but unfortunately it later capitulated in a form of Freedom Charter which undermined and tried to override the POA which gave birth to another turning point in a form of PAC led by Robert Sobukwe and became one of the radical voices for the Black majority mainly on the noble quest for the return of our Land from the hands of the colonial settler minority. In 2008 with all other mistakes we saw another kind of the ANCYL that broke away from the liberal and imperialist conformity of the current nature ANC ,and began a noble course for Nationalisation of the mines and all key industries combined with Land Expropriation without compensation in the country at the benefit of the poor Black working class majority , the ANCYL was not the first to heed this call since the PAC has long made such call which at no point seized from it , we also know the first Socialist Party in the country the Socialist Party of Azania which demanded Nationalisation of the Means of Production and Land Expropriation without compensation post 1994 , which was further confirmed with the unconditional support of Zimbabwean Land redistribution program despite COSATUs public condemnation of such a radical resolution by the Zimbabwean government of ZANU-PF led by comrade Robert Mugabe. The ANCYL of Julius Malema as main leader became completely different from the one lame duck led by Malusi Gigaba and Fikile Mbalula but at radical level also came very close to that led also by the late comrade Peter Mokaba which also faced huge betrayal by the ANC old guards who were ready to submit to the pressure of imperialism that led to todays live defects on a blunt victory further illustrated by Ronnie Casrils one of the senior ANC members who publicly admitted the blunders made by the ANC during and after CODESA. We saw the ANCYL of Malema during its two terms that included its premature demise calling and reiterating the noble calls which did not only challenge the status quo of the Azanian political strata but also threatened a lot of interests mainly from the corrupt ANC oligarch and the comprado class in this country . As a result the leadership of Malema was not condemned by ANC only but even the so called political analysts who mostly spoke and self appointed themselves as Spokesperson of both the masses and the so called investors. During the Malema tenure in the ANCYL we finally got public exposure of ANCs commitment to serve imperialism at the expense of the poor which was confirmed by there then minister of Energy and Minerals Susan Shabangu who publicly rebuked any plans or ambitions by the ANC led regime to nationalise the mining industry at the benefit of the poor majority of Azania , with later rebukes from one of the worse ideologically starved Secretary General in ANCs history (Gwede Mantashe) who even refered to the call as a daylight dream which calls for anarchy and instability whereas failing to see the already existing anarchy of miltinational corporate thugery and crimes against the Black working class majority . Such development made the ANCYL of Julius Malema and his leadership one of the outstanding considering its stagnant nature during both Mbalula and Gigabas terms of leadership which embraced all reactionary and anti poor policies like the RDP, ASGISA and GEAR. we saw a change of the youth voice to a one closely to that of the PAC and SOPA which resulted in the expulsion of Malema and the sudden disbandment of the ANCYL. Today we see a lot of noise and screams for the revival of the ANCYL which in true sense comes from the opportunists within the ANC leadership who cant seem to get any springboard to rectify the crack created by the unprincipled expulsion of comrade Malema though it was evident it was driven by imperialist ambitions that produced a sudden return of Unionist turned Capitalist lackey (Cyril Ramaphosa ) to the public domain , while its obvious he was to defend the fruits of his 1996 total submission of the state power to the imperialist pressure which became more profitable to him hence today he is deemed as one of the richest non white in the country which boast more than 50% of unemployment and extreme poverty post 1990 negotiations that he was also the main character in play . It is sad young people are fed with illusions that the ANCYL can be resurrected while most of us know very well that it wont based on its history of capitulation from the days of the controversial adoption of the fraudulant Freedom Charter and the last attempt by the leadership of Julius Malema which met a pig style manuvering of ANC munching its own children while multinationals cheered in joy . The current squabbles on the leadership of an already disbanded and liquidated ANCYL is just a reflection of a mission impossible while a facet is created that it is possible mainly to keep the youth around the ANC in avoidance of the inevitable eventuality of the overthrow of ANC by the Youth and the poor Working Class of Azania . Politics are not like Leselo Rula (Old famous scary movie in Azania) where its owner Raletloane always blow a horn to ressuract his ghost whenever he needs to manipulate his dirty work without dirtying his hands but really on Leselos miracles and powers without any questions nor concerns , it is logical and factual that any organisations futures security is confirmed by the crop of its youth leadership but in ANCs case it is evident that its future is doomed though an illusion feel strong it can be revived, but the main questions would be by who at whose expense ? Will it continue where the leadership of Julius Malema has left before its expulsion and disbandment ? Will it continue on the resolutions of the Ghalagher Estate resolutions taken by the ANCYL of Julius Malema which adopted Nationalisation of the mines ,Banks and all key economic industries in our country ? Will the expropriation of Land without compensation still be pursued ? Will the ANYCL that is idealised to be revived condemn and reject the Tax Incentive Tax ? Will it challenge the NDP? or it is an ANCYL that will call for immunity of Jacob Zuma from prosecution after his term despite compelling evidence of cases against him ? As young people such critical questions should be dominant in our minds before we fal for a trap of saving thugs from crimes they committed against humanity as it happened when ANC defended the National Party for all its crimes post Apartheid era , which resulted in us as the Black majority only hearing about Freedom yet we cant feel nor touch it.
