Cdes, Personally I have no sympathy for Pule Mabe, it is the same Pule Mabe who in 2009 said to us "principle who not fill your mouths with food", when we complained about the unconstotutional manner in which he YL Regional Congresses. Today he suffers the same fate and he runs to SG of ANC.
I agree with Gugu, ANCYL has problems, but Pule is part of the problems.
