Jordan Ngubane – forgotten founding member of the Congress Youth League by Sbonelo Radebe (Mail and Guardian), 10 January 2023
When the story of the founding of the Congress Youth League (CYL) — the forerunner of the ANC Youth League — is told, usually it is only Anton Lembede, AP Mda and a few others who are mentioned. The several other founding members are seldom brought up and the omission of their names is a silencing of their intellectual prowess and political contribution to the making of the CYL.
