Nkabinde said the revelation by Maine was a result of the meddling of the ANC leadership on ANCYL matters including its elective conferences.

Maine was elected ANCYL president in 2015 at Gallagher Estate in Johannesburg, with the backing of the so-called ANC “premier league” which included Mahumapelo.

“Even though I think it was incorrect to do that in public, I don’t blame him. I know how ANC leaders have always tried to capture the league for their business and political interests.

“The admission by Maine shows that he is tired of being captured by Mahumapelo and wants to regain his independence and respect. This is a lesson for ANC leaders to learn to stop interfering in the matters of the league,” Nkabinde said. POLICE in the Thohoyandou area have arrested a man and recovered eight stolen trucks allegedly on the verge of being smuggled out of the country in what could be a breakthrough in shutting down a vehicle theft syndicate, Limpopo police said yesterday.

“In our efforts to deal with theft of motor vehicles and cross-border crimes, the joint operations which were up and running until this morning (Sunday) continue to successfully crack the whip on syndicates,” Lieutenant-Colonel Moatshe Ngoepe said. – African News Agency (ANA)
