LET MBEKI LEAD AND DEPUTISE MALEMA

-

When one commentato­r suggested that Thabo Mbeki is the right person to lead the ANC back to glory, the idea seemed laughable. But then it dawned on me that the ANC has not only lost all credibilit­y but is also void of any human capital to redeem itself. And with the shameful outcomes of the once promising Cyril Ramaphosa laid bare, some of the most ardent ANC sympathise­rs have lost all hope in the party.

But a situation in which Mbeki leads the restructur­ing of the ANC with Julius Malema as his deputy would be bad news for opposition parties and independen­t candidates. This will save the ANC and South Africa from self-destructio­n.
