On the Government of National Unity (GNU)
We applaud the ANC for its strategic and inclusive approach in forming a Government of National Unity (GNU). This decision reflects the ANC's dedication to unity, stability, and progress.
The ANCYL will not compromise on policies that are critical to advancing the National Democratic Revolution (NDR). Policies that contradict the principles of the NDR, such as the proposal to reform NSFAS into a tiered bursary and loan system, will not happen under our watch.
The fight for democracy in South Africa was long and difficult, marked by immense sacrifices and struggles. We will not allow any regression or the implementation of policies that undermine the hard-won gains of our democracy. While we are prepared to work with all parties, including the DA, our commitment to progressive policies remains unwavering. The GNU must focus on issues critical to the youth, such as unemployment, higher education,
crime, and drug abuse, and ensure that inclusive economic growth and effective service delivery are prioritized for all South Africans.
Additionally, the advancement of industrialization, investment in large-scale infrastructure projects, and support for small businesses and Black industrialists are essential to our agenda.
The ANCYL is committed to working with the GNU to ensure that the voices and needs of the youth are prioritized and addressed, while firmly opposing any policies that undermine the NDR.
