Cde Phaahla I think u didnt understood the content of the letter from the YCL Office beares. The letter doesnt say they disown the person but the content of the letter since the writer used his capacity as YCL Chairperson. Chief u cant clarify something that u have nothing to do about it, read the article from Songezo Mleqwa may be it will assist u to understand the whole issues.
