Videos by Timothy Bernard\/African News Agency<\/strong><\/p>\n Polokwane – ANC Deputy President David Mabuza says the only way to rebuild the youth wing of the ruling party was by young people adopting the spirit and vigour of that late ANC Youth League leader Peter Mokaba.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cTo prosecute our struggles, we need a formidable movement. Young people must ensure that they build the structures of the ANCYL. The commitment we are making again is that at branches and conferences no one should die. <\/p>\n \u201cNo fighting (should take place) in those meetings. Young people can\u2019t do that. They can\u2019t kill each other. They have got a bigger role to play in this movement. We rely on you, your energy and wisdom,\u201d said Mabuza.<\/p>\n He was speaking at a wreath-laying ceremony at Mankweng cemetery in Polokwane in memory of the fiery and radical Mokaba.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The ceremony formed part of the ANC’s 110th-anniversary celebrations and was part of the build-up to the main January 8 statement rally to be held at the Old Peter Mokaba Stadium.<\/p>\n Mabuza said the young people need to rebuild the ANC, end corruption and take the struggle for a better life forward at a much faster pace.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cWe are here again to recommit ourselves that we are going to rebuild and renew our movement. We are going to get rid of all rogue elements within the movement, we are going to get rid of criminals, we are going to get rid of all those leaders within the movement who are corrupt. The ANC is not corrupt it\u2019s only individuals who are corrupt. You must reclaim the dignity of the ANC,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n He added: \u201cThe ANC is there to serve the people. This organization belongs to the people. Let us regenerate and renew the ANC. In our effort to renew the ANC we must bring back necessary discipline within the party. Members must be distinguished from the rest do that they conduct themselves they bring respect.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The ANCYL National Youth Task Team (NYTT) hosted a series of events commemorating the life and times of Mokaba, under the theme: \u201cThe Year Of War Against Unemployment, GBV and Killing Of Women And Children Towards Economic Freedom In Our Lifetime\u201d.<\/p>\n Earlier in the day, they visited the Mokaba family home at the Mokaba Homestead in Mankweng.<\/p>\n ANCYL-NYTT convener Nonceba Mhlauli said it was important to appreciate and celebrate Mokaba who led the process they were currently undergoing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cAs the ANC celebrates 110, it is important for us to connect with Mokaba\u2019s spirit. We are asking that his revolutionary spirit guide us,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n Mokaba’s brother, Ernest Mokaba thanked the youth league for organizing the event saying they should be given support.<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/aaa28ff4-0bd2-5326-a5a9-c229f4ebf773&operation=CROP&offset=0x0&resize=1280x853.jpg\")
