iii. anc and anc youth league
the anc is a national liberation movement. it was formed in 1912 to unite the african people and spearhead the struggle for fundamental political, social and economic change. for nine decades the anc has led the struggle against racism and oppression, organising mass students resistance, mobilising the international community and taking up the armed struggle against apartheid. membership of the anc is open to all south africans above the age of 18 years, irrespective of race, colour and creed, who accept its principles, policies and programmes.
the anc youth league was founded in 1944. the league propagated “africanism” and its motto was “africa’s cause must triumph.” it was radical and militant. the members of it rejected the idea of “foreign” leadership and argued that black africans must provide their own leadership and rely upon themselves.
