Johannesburg - Nationalisation and land restitution are just two of the topics included in the ANC Youth League's (ANCYL's) discussion documents for its national congress to be held in June, it said on Tuesday.
The theme is Youth Action for Economic Freedom in Our Lifetime.
The ANCYL said economic transformation was at the centre of the congress and would define "the parameters of economic freedom in our lifetime".
Seven pillars for economic freedom were identified: expropriation of strategic sectors of the economy without compensation; nationalisation for industrialisation; a radical land restitution programme; inclusive and decentralised economic growth and development; investment in the development of the African economy; the building of a strong developmental state and public service; and provision of education, skills and expertise to the people.
"These pillars are positioned and expatiated in a manner that will sustainably respond to SA's developmental challenges, particularly high levels of unemployment and poverty."
From Wednesday, the discussion documents would be dispatched to all structures of the ANCYL and posted on its website "for members of society to access and contribute in shaping the future of SA".
These documents did not constitute final policy positions of the ANCYL until they were duly adopted by the national congress.
"The ANC youth is fully aware of the intolerance of those who are intellectually weak, ideologically misguided and politically directionless, for they have potential of trying to suppress the views of the ANCYL and suppress its development."
