Former president Thabo Mbeki hit the nail on the head when he this weekend said the ANC is more worried about leadership positions, than the welfare of the country. Mbeki, during a meeting with ANC Free State members in Bloemfontein on Saturday, urged the governing body to put the country first, even though the ANC’s 55th National Elective Conference looms this year.
Mbeki said the ANC should be concerned about the poor state the country finds itself – with high levels of unemployment and the sorry state of the state-owned enterprises the major problems – than worry about jockeying for leadership positions.
