Slamming the party’s “renewal”, former president Thabo Mbeki cited claims of “criminal” ANC members who have izinkabi (hitmen) on their payrolls.
He challenged the party to choose its leaders carefully in its December elective conference and alleged there are candidates who want to enrich themselves.
Mbeki said he has been going around the country to visit the party’s branches.He reacted to the amendment of the Electoral Act, warning that “candidate MPs will get killed” as a result of the change.
Mbeki was delivering a keynote address this past weekend at the Strategic Dialogue Group AGM in Marks Park in Johannesburg.
