The SWAPO Party Youth League (SPYL) is the youth wing of the South West Africa People's Organization.

In 2007, SPYL called protests against a visit by Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe "reactionary and unpatriotic". [ [http://www.mg.co.za/article/2007-02-27-mugabe-faces-hostile-reception-in-namibia Mugabe faces hostile reception in Namibia] in the Mail & Guardian, 27 February, 2007]

In August 2008, SPYL called on President Hifikepunye Pohamba to create a Ministry of Religion so that the government can support Christian Churches in support Namibia's poor. In the same statement, the SYL called for a reduction in benefits to the heads of parastatals and for a dialogue with White Namibian youth.
