Pan Africanist Congress Youth Congress (Payco) in Limpopo has rejected the call by some party members to recall its party President Letlapa Mphahlele. 

The Payco Provincial Executive Council (PEC) took the resolution to support Mphahlele during its meeting at Polokwane, Limpopo. 

Provincial Chairperson Sello Boshomone says, “We do recognise the May 11 faction meeting. Payco’s leadership will uphold the PAC’s Constitution which is the yard stick in decision-making. Limpopo remains firm that President Letlapa Mphahlele is still our president as we have elected him at the Butterworth Congress.”

The Payco PEC also discussed unemployment and the role of the National Youth Development Agency (NYDA).  

Boshomone claims that the NYDA is benefiting African National Congress (ANC) supporters only.

“We have noted the rising of unemployment with 25.2% which is a clear reflection of how useless the NYDA is. Even from the beginning as we have been calling for the disbandment of NYDA,” says Boshomone.

He says they want the youth ministry to directly look over issues that affect the young people of South Africa. 

“The NYDA is led by the ANC youth. There are no other youth structures is there,” he added.
