The youth wing of South\u00a0Africa’s ruling African National Congress has given its\u00a0president, Julius Malema, for a second term,\u00a0endorsing a proponent of mining nationalisation.<\/p>\n

The ANC Youth League, arguably the party’s most powerful\u00a0bloc, re-elected an unopposed Malema for another three-year term\u00a0at its ongoing conference on Friday.<\/p>\n

Speaking to the Mail & Guardian<\/em> newspaper, Malema said that he felt “humbled” by the result.<\/p>\n

“I’m humbled by the support that I got and the fact that the comrades have given me the mandate. I shall not disappoint,”\u00a0he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Long considered kingmakers within the ANC, the youth league\u00a0has been used by senior members of the party to drive policy\u00a0change and launch leadership races.<\/p>\n

Malema helped Jacob Zuma, the South African president,\u00a0in his 2007\u00a0rise to power, although there has been friction between the two\u00a0since, particularly over the issue of nationalisation.<\/p>\n

Zuma has dismissed the league’s drives to nationalise mines\u00a0in the world’s biggest platinum producer and seize white-owned\u00a0farms.<\/p>\n

Malema, the son of a domestic worker, has drawn the ire of whites\u00a0for his singing of apartheid-era songs that advocate the\u00a0shooting of white farmers.<\/p>\n

While his views may have unsettled foreign investors, he has\u00a0won broad support from the millions of South Africans who are\u00a0still mired in grinding poverty almost two decades after the end\u00a0of apartheid.<\/p>\n

The four-day youth league conference has drawn about 6,000\u00a0delegates.<\/p>\n
