ANC Youth League (ANCYL) President Collen Malatji strongly criticizes former President Jacob Zuma for undermining the ruling party in the upcoming elections. Zuma recently declared his support for the newly registered uMkhonto weSizwe party over the ANC.

Addressing a party event in Mpumalanga, Malatji emphasised that Zuma's actions have tarnished the ANC's reputation more than any other party president.

According to the ANCYL president, the party's renewal program has successfully identified and removed criminals who posed as politicians and struggle icons for an extended period.
