ANCYL Conference Chaos Leaves Ramaphosa Waiting

Proceedings at the ANC Youth League national conference descended into disorder today, delaying President Cyril Ramaphosa’s address by more than two hours. Registration problems and disputes over delegate accreditation disrupted the official programme.

Reports from the venue described chaotic scenes, with singing, shouting, and repeated stoppages. Security officials struggled to maintain order as frustrations mounted among delegates, overshadowing what was meant to be a high-profile opening.
