Monsieur Malatji,

Allow me to congratulate you on the occasion of the ANCYL's 79th anniversary.

Your credentials at your age speak volumes; all I ask is that you not get caught by corrupt old colleagues who have no concern for the future of our nation. Please play a key part in emancipating vulnerable kids whose morale is at an all-time low and who lack the confidence to face the future.

You and your fellow elected members have a chance to rise beyond petty divisions and stomach politics to chart a course that will genuinely free the young of this nation and leave a legacy of kids who stepped up to hold their leaders responsible for their mistakes. I am particularly impressed by your firmness in holding Comrade Gordon accountable for his long-term failure and his misguided passion of attempting to sell state-owned companies to the private sector. It goes without saying that there will be a push back to isolate you in the long run, but remember that a servant of the people sleeps peacefully at night knowing he/she has made a difference for the poorest of the poor.

Develop into a formidable force. Just remember to remain modest in all you do and to respect everyone.
