City Press reported on Sunday that only the Gauteng and Eastern Cape provincial executive structures of the league survived the weekend's "purge" by the ANC Youth League's national task team.
The disbandment of seven provincial executive committees would mean that fresh elective conferences would have to occur in all those provinces.
Youth league task team spokesperson Bandile Masuku told the Mail & Guardian on Sunday he could not comment on the reports until all provincial executives had been allowed to meet with their members.
"Provincial executive meetings are being held throughout the country so that, before we make anything public, we have made sure that we have complied with organisational processes," Masuku said. He said the task team would meet with ANC officials on Monday morning.
In March, the M&G reported remarks by ANC secretary general Gwede Mantashe that the ANC was not purging its youth body of structures that were not supportive of President Jacob Zuma.
His comments followed the disbandment of the league's national executive committee and its provincial executive in Limpopo – two structures that formed the cavalry of the forces opposed to Zuma's re-election as the ANC's president, in the run-up to the party's Mangaung conference in December last year.
A task team was established by the ANC to convene a provincial elective conference in Limpopo before the year's end.
According to the City Press, the disbanded provincial executives are also said to include the North West, Mpumalanga and the Northern Cape.
Last week, an events managements company brought a court application to have the ANC Youth League liquidated, alleging it was owed R15-million by the youth body in unpaid debts, stemming from the league's 2008 elective conference.
Mantashe, in an answering affidavit filed in response to the liquidation application, said the league's affairs were "shambolic and chaotic".
Judgment was reserved in the matter.
A week before the liquidation application was heard in court, league members were castigated for raising their personal views in the media. The league's national working committee decried a "foreign tendency" of "decentralised commentary" by ordinary members on organisational issues in the press.
Said Masuku: "The head office of the [league] continues to be inundated with media queries including request for interviews, but not all are helpful towards the repositioning of the organisation hence not all are processed by the leadership."
He added that "divergent views" were undermining the ANC Youth League, which is now focusing on the ANC's 2014 election campaign.
