The new leadership of the ANC Youth League in Tshwane has been described by some of its own members as opportunists who are only looking after their own interests.

The members have come under heavy attack from one of the branches, which has questioned their motive in declaring unwavering support for Tshwane executive mayor and ANC regional chairman Kgosientso Ramokgopa.

The league accused senior municipal officials last week of plotting to oust Ramokgopa from both posts. It also claimed these officials were co-ordinating service delivery protests in Metsweding, east of Pretoria, to destabilise the mayor’s office.
