Probe branches under 50% in LGE, says ANCYL in Limpopo
In Limpopo, the ANC is leading but failed to get an outright majority in 10 municipalities
The African National Congress Youth League (ANCYL) in Limpopo has called for investigations into party branches that received less than 50% support in the recent local government elections. Limpopo, which is currently under ANCYL leadership, saw the party failing to secure an outright majority in 10 municipalities, including the province's economic hub, Polokwane.
This has resulted in 10 hung councils. ANCYL spokesperson Phineas Boshielo highlighted the need to address internal leadership challenges and restore trust with voters, pointing to a decline in party support, manipulation of community votes, poor service delivery, higher unemployment rates, and the quality of leadership as factors contributing to the poor performance.
