The African National Congress Youth League (ANCYL) in Limpopo says there must be investigations into branches where the party received below 50% in the recent local government elections.
In Limpopo, the party is leading but failed to get an outright majority in 10 municipalities, including the province’s economic hub, Polokwane.
There are now 10 hung councils. The youth league spokesperson Phineas Boshielo says they must address internal leadership challenges and rebuild relationship with the voters.
“The last government election signal is a massive decline is a cost of corncern manipulation of community votes poor service delivery higher unemployment rate and quality of leadership. On manipulation of community votes the ANC Youth Legue will zoom in on branches that performed below 50 percent and investigate possible manipulation of community votes.”
