ANCYL calls on youth to vandalise Cape Town

The ANC Youth League has called on the youth to vandalise the City of Cape Town, in a protest against poor service delivery.

“We are going to destroy everything and make the city ungovernable,” Loyiso Nkohle, secretary of the ANCYL Dullah Omar region, said on Tuesday.

“We are calling on all youth to do this, especially those living in informal settlements.”

Nkohle’s deputy Chumile Sali said the ANCYL was doing this to expose those parts of the city where the Democratic Alliance had failed to deliver services.

On Monday, ANCYL members and community leaders led residents in the destruction of toilet enclosures the city council had erected hours earlier.

They taunted mayor Dan Plato to arrest them.

“The African people’s dignity has been undermined by the DA. It is time to take action,” said Sali.

Regional treasurer Andile Lili said the ANCYL "did not intend" being violent, but was being "forced to" by the city.
