ANCYL RESOLVING INTERNAL CHALLENGES 

The African National Congress (ANC) appreciates and welcomes the successful engagement held between the Secretary General, Cde Fikile Mbalula, and the National Executive Committee of the African National Congress Youth League (ANCYL). 

The meeting provided an opportunity for the ANCYL to outline the challenges it had recently confronted and the steps it undertook to address them. The meeting resolved that all suspension letters issued in relation to the matter be immediately withdrawn. It is agreed that the Secretary General of the ANCYL will issue a public apology as part of restoring unity and organisational discipline.  

The ANC commends the ANCYL for demonstrating organisational discipline, maturity and unity of purpose by resolving these matters internally and responsibly. Their conduct reflects a renewed culture of accountability and collective leadership that strengthens both the ANCYL and the broader movement. The ANC expresses full confidence in the ANCYL leadership as they continue to play a decisive role in championing youth development, advancing the struggles of young people, and contributing to the renewal and reconstruction of the movement. 

We call on all members and leaders of the ANCYL to give maximum attention to ensuring the successful convening of the 27th National Congress, from 14 to 17 December 2025, at the University of Limpopo. 

We are assured that the ANCYL will continue to mobilise the energy, creativity and activism of young people in the service of social transformation. The organisation reaffirms its commitment to supporting the ANCYL.

Adoption of G20 Leaders Declaration

 

The Democratic Alliance congratulates all of the South African government on securing agreement on the Leaders' Declaration today at the G20 Leaders Summit.

This declaration represents a significant and positive outcome. It reinforces core principles essential to global stability, security and development, including respect for international law and human rights, the peaceful resolution of conflicts, and a renewed commitment to multilateral cooperation.

Importantly, through the declaration, G20 members seek to ease the debt burden on developing countries, strengthen climate-resilience, and support a just transition to sustainable energy systems that have positive implications for jobs and growth.

In addition the declaration welcomes the "Ubuntu approaches" on food security and nutrition, developed under South Africa's G20 Presidency, and sustainable, climate resilient agriculture. This will expanded access to safe, healthy and nutritious food for vulnerable South Africans.

These priorities are vital for South Africa as government seeks to implement the urgent reforms required to turbocharge our economy.

It has been an honour to be a part of this meeting and the team that made this summit not only possible but valuable. As such it represents an important step toward improved, inclusive global cooperation and, closer to home, to the inestimable value of the GNU.

As a partner in the GNU, the DA will work to ensure that the G20 commitments translate into tangible progress at home.
