ANCYL Limpopo provincial secretary, Phineas “Boko” Sebola calls for young people to lead the ANC motherbody in 2027. Picture: Supplied. The league’s ambition comes a week before the party holds its 27th national elective conference from 14 to 17 December 2025, at the Limpopo Turfloop Campus in Mankweng.
Sebola added that Limpopo will send a total of 579 branch delegates from 579 branches; each branch contributing one delegate to the conference. “We are sitting with a theme: ‘Economic freedom and social change now’. This is a call by all structures of the ANCYL to unchain the country’s economic patterns from the hands of the minority, in the interests of the majority.
“In its practical terms, we’re calling for the state to introduce export quotas to ensure that all mineral resources and other raw materials in the country benefit the people of South Africa. “We further say that not more than 70% of our raw materials must be allowed to leave the country. In light of this, we are calling on the ANC to create a mechanism to manage leadership quotation.” The Citizenwas reliably informed that three items would dominate discussions at the conference: ANC Youth League president Collen Malatji should replace Fikile Mbalula as ANC secretary-general; Mbalula should replace Cyril Ramaphosa as party president at the party’s national conference in 2027; and a single-slate plan conference where there would be no contestation for positions.

“I don’t know anything about that, and I can not comment on something I know nothing about,” he said. An ANCYL insider, who spoke on condition of anonymity for fear of reprisal as he was not tasked to speak on this matter, had only this to say: “Malatji is a tried and tested cadre of the ANC.”
