ANCYL STATEMENT ON THE SUCCESSFUL DOOR-TO-DOOR MOBILISATION AND STUDENT ENGAGEMENT CAMPAIGN AT THE UNIVERSITY OF FORT HARE (UFH)

The African National Congress Youth League (ANCYL) notes with absolute pride and revolutionary enthusiasm the resounding success of today’s mass grassroots mobilisation campaign at the University of Fort Hare (UFH), Alice Campus.

Today, 14 September 2026, the historic grounds of the University of Fort Hare—a well of revolutionary leadership—reverberated with the radical energy of the young lions. This came as the ANCYL National Leadership, led by National Deputy President Comrade Francisco Dyantyi, alongside the Eastern Cape Provincial Secretary Comrade Zuko Lugalo and the local Regional Executive Committee, descended upon the campus for a dynamic door-to-door blitz.

The purpose of today’s aggressive door-to-door deployment in student residences was clear: to engage directly with the student body, absorb their day-to-day material conditions, and solidifying the historic mission of student victory. The leadership took time to listen intently to students regarding institutional challenges, student funding (NSFAS), accommodation, safety, and academic exclusion.

The ANCYL remains clear that institutions of higher learning must never become spaces of exclusion for the children of the poor and the working class. Our presence on the ground today re-emphasises our uncompromising commitment to the Progressive Youth Alliance (PYA) .

The overwhelming warmth and positive reception from the students at UFH today prove beyond doubt that young people still recognize the ANC and its youth organ as the only vehicle capable of steering real social and economic change.

We want to thank the student community of Fort Hare for their time and vibrant engagements. The young lions are awake, the machinery is oiled, and our presence at the grassroots remains unshaken.

The ANCYL has received the news of the precautionary suspension of the UFH Vice-Chancellor by Council, and we welcome this decisive action with great excitement and renewed hope.

As the ANCYL, we fully support the decision taken by the UFH Council. This comes after countless concerns and frustrations raised by both students and staff, who have long endured leadership that was out of touch, authoritarian, and dismissive of the needs of the broader university community. No institution can thrive under such conditions, and we are relieved that accountability is finally beginning to take shape.

This suspension marks a critical turning point. It signals that the voices of students and workers are not in vain, and that this institution can begin to reclaim its integrity, dignity, and progressive character. UFH belongs to its people, not to individuals who seek to undermine it for personal power.

We are particularly encouraged by this development because it restores hope , hope that justice will be carried through without fear or favour. We now expect that all individuals who are currently under investigation will also face similar precautionary suspensions. There must be consistency, fairness, and a firm commitment to clean governance across all levels of management.

This moment must not be symbolic . It must be the beginning of real, tangible change in the University of Fort Hare .

The ANCYL remains vigilant and committed to ensuring that UFH moves forward, not backwards. We are committed to standing up and fighting against the injustices in the University.

Regards,
Chairperson
