Members of the African National Congress (ANC) and delegates at the ANC’s sixth national policy conference have discussed and made recommendations on issues related to the country’s transition from coal to clean energy sources; the future of state-owned enterprises, unemployment, and Eskom.

Delegates of the economic transformation commission held a media briefing on the sidelines of the national conference, underway at Nasrec South of Johannesburg, to give feedback on the commission’s engagements.

They have made calls to declare youth unemployment a national crisis. This comes as unemployment among young people hovers above 60%.
