THE ANC Youth League has taken on the scrapping of e-tolls as its first major campaign.
The newly elected leaders yesterday said they would use their four-day national executive committee meeting in Irene, Tshwane to come up with strategies.
Youth league secretary-general Njabulo Nzuza said: “We will use this meeting to strategise and make sure that 40% of the youth are deployed in government structures. We are also going to lobby the ANC to scrap e-tolls.
“The ANC is the organisation of the people and it should, therefore, listen to the people and they say they don’t want e-tolls.”
Nzuza said the ANC must find other ways to fund massive projects.
ANCYL president Collen Maine said e-tolls would be one of the matters they would be bringing up at the ANC general council next week. “We are not worried about the Western Cape case. All we are saying is that another way must be found,” he said.
Maine was referring to a court case in Cape Town where it was ruled that Sanral couldn’t have e-tolls in the Western Cape.
