‘Get rid of power-hungry politicians’ – Mbeki warns ANC

Former president Thabo Mbeki, who recently warned that SA could face its own Arab Spring due to rising unemployment and inequality, has criticised the quality of ANC membership, saying the party has attracted power-hungry individuals.

Mbeki was delivering the keynote address at the memorial service of the late struggle stalwart Rita Ndzanga in Soweto.

These individuals, Mbeki said, use the ANC as a stepladder to power with the aim of enriching themselves, resulting in voters in former ANC strongholds such as Soweto staying away from the polls, leading to its electoral decline.
