Hands Off Mashatile, Says ANCYL Amid Concerns DA Gunning to See Him Criminally Prosecuted

The African National Congress Youth League (ANCYL) has voiced strong support for Deputy President Paul Mashatile, urging critics to cease their attacks amid growing concerns that the Democratic Alliance (DA) is seeking his criminal prosecution.

The DA has been pushing for Mashatile to face legal action, but the ANCYL has condemned these efforts as politically motivated. The league emphasized that Mashatile is being unfairly targeted and called for respect for the legal process, insisting that any allegations against him should be handled appropriately without political interference.

In their statement, the ANCYL stressed the importance of allowing the law to take its course without undue influence or pressure from opposition parties, reiterating their stance to stand firmly behind Mashatile during this period of scrutiny.
