African National Congress Youth League

The African National Congress Youth League (ANCYL) is the youth wing of the African National Congress (ANC), South Africa's ruling political party. Founded in 1944, its primary goal is to engage and empower young South Africans in politics, advocating for social justice, economic equality, and opportunities for youth development. The league plays a crucial role in shaping policies that address the needs and challenges faced by young people in South Africa, including education, employment, and social issues. It serves as a platform for youth activism and leadership within the broader ANC framework.
