The ANC Youth League (ANCYL) has launched a scathing attack on Gauteng finance and economic development MEC Lebogang Maile, calling him a golden boy guaranteed an executive position despite not pulling his weight during the election campaign.
Maile was earlier this month appointed by Gauteng premier Panyaza Lesufi.
He was one of seven ANC MPLs appointed to the executive while the other three posts went to other parties in the government of provincial unity (GPU).
ANCYL leader Collen Malatji told a gathering in Bekkersdal on the West Rand at the weekend that Maile and other ANC provincial executive committee members were not visible during the election campaign where the ANC was battered, but have now been rewarded with executive positions.
Maile is head of elections in Gauteng but Malatji seemed to suggest that only Lesufi was visible during the campaign.
