GREATER KwaDukuza ANC Youth League (ANCYL) members and supporters picketed outside the Absa Ballito Junction branch as part of the league's campaign calling on Absa to repay part of the billions the bank allegedly received as a bailout from the apartheid government.
"We, as the ANC Youth League, are not asking for too much, we are just asking that you pay back this money so that the government can use it for youth development," Sabelo said during the picket outside the branch in Ballito.

He further urged contractors doing business with ANC-led government structures to move their banking to Ithala Bank.
Sabelo called upon Absa employees to take part in the league's campaign by instituting a go-slow protest.
