Forever young ANC leaders want slice of the cake

One is as old as one feels, so goes the saying, but according to Pule Mabe, as long as you are not Thabo Mbeki’s age, you are young.
The ANC’s national spokesperson has suggested that people under 50 should be considered “youth”.
This is revealed in a leaked recording of last week’s special ANC national executive committee (NEC) meeting convened to update members of  the body on nomination and election processes for the party’s 55th national conference scheduled for December as well as guidelines leading to the event.
In the leaked clip, Mabe can be heard addressing the ANC’s proposal to have 25% of the NEC positions reserved for young people.
