WILL THE FIGHT AGAINST THE ANCYL AND THE DA EVER END?

The African National Congress Youth League (ANCYL) has been laid charges against, again by the Democratic Alliance (DA) of intimidation on Wednesday. These alleged intimidation charges were prompted by a threat to make Cape Town and the province ungovernable.
The Intimidation Act, 1982 prohibits forms of intimidation where the ANCYL and the four other organisations have violated the rights of the DA as "This threat comes against the backdrop of a number violent service delivery protests that have taken place in the city in recent days." http://www.news24.com/SouthAfrica/Politics/Zille-lays-charges-against-ANCYL-20120801

Be that as it may, the ANCYL is unapologetic towards their action as the DA lay charges. According to the ANCYL, the DA lacks historical understanding http://www.iol.co.za
BUT
Both the ANCYL and the DA could do so much more within their organisations if they’d focus less ‘gunning’ for each other. Issues such as poverty, lack of service delivery, crime etc. are the most important issues that any political organisation faces which are not fully being fulfilled.
It is the responsibility of any political organisation to adhere the constitution of South Africa, however their focus is on making sure that the opposition is under siege and is brought down. The ANC slogan’s the following words;
“Working Together We Can Do More.”
These are wise words that has been emphasised by our local government but are not exercised to its fullest potential.

The community asks will this battle between the leading party and the DA ever end? 
Are we fighting a new battle within the government now?

  1. The ANC and the DA should learn to set their differences aside as this questions the capability and credibility of both the political parties. Who do we vote for in the next elections if the parties that we support cause division in the country?

  2. That is one thing that the leaders of the organisations should tackle and show the county and the world that South African government can work together
