#FirstThingsFirst - Mbeki dropped a bombshell about Zuma's Robben Island stint.

Former ANC President Thabo Mbeki stunned the party’s national executive committee (NEC) members when he questioned the existence of the trial that resulted in his successor Jacob Zuma being convicted and tossed into Robben Island as a political prisoner. Mbeki, who stopped short of calling Zuma a spy, dropped the bombshell in the NEC meeting held at Birchwood Hotel in Gauteng a few weeks ago to discuss the poor electoral showing of the ANC in Gauteng and KwaZulu-Natal (KZN). Is there any credence to this insinuation by Mbeki? The team and listeners deliberated on Mbeki's utterances.
