The prospect of getting the top job in the ANCYL has senior members rethinking their positions, possibly leaving Julius Malema without support.
ANC Youth League leader Julius Malema’s loyalists in the Western Cape and Limpopo are due to retain power in their respective provincial conferences.
A growing faction within the ANCYL is not only gunning for league leader Julius Malema, but may even reverse its mission to replace Zuma at Mangaung.
Mpumalanga ANC chair David Mabuza has been re-elected unopposed amid alliance partner claims that his pro-Zuma camp "corrupted the conference".
ANC spokesperson Jackson Mthembu says reports of a meeting to discuss Julius Malema’s suspension and the disbanding of his executive are "misleading".
Embattled ANC Youth League leader Julius Malema is considering legal action against the ANC for refusing to withdraw his suspension.

As a smokescreen devised to dispel the perception that the party’s top six is gravely divided, the ANC’s publicity stunt on Tuesday failed. Dismally.
