Former SA Presidents<\/p><\/div>\n

Over the previous few months, three former presidents have voiced their opinions. And there have been questions about the public disputes between Thabo Mbeki, Kgalema Motlanthe, and Jacob Zuma that concentrated on the ANC in KwaZulu-Natal.<\/p>\n

Zuma charged treason and corruption against Cyril Ramaphosa, his successor. Former president Kgalema Motlanthe has expressed concern that President Ramaphosa\u2019s failure to provide a comprehensive public justification for the Phala Phala scandal is endangering the office, and former President Thabo Mbeki has questioned what it will mean for Ramaphosa to move toward the ANC elective conference while he is still subject to impeachment.<\/p>\n

Later ANC KZN provincial secretary Bheki Mtolo issued a statement saluting the three leaders, presidents of the ANC, Mbeki, Zuma and Motlanthe, and pointed out that each of them would have their footprints and legacy remaining with them for many years to come.<\/p>\n

Bheki Mtolo, the provincial secretary for the ANC in KZN, later released a statement in which he saluted the three ANC presidents\u2014Mbeki, Zuma, and Motlanthe\u2014and noted that each would leave behind a legacy.<\/p>\n

The political experts Xolani Dube and Prof. Siphamandla Zondo spoke with Radio Islam on the three leaders\u2019 legacies. Dube claims that the ANC and the leaders have failed the people of South Africa. He advised them to hold off on criticism, particularly given that they have many questions to answer and should leave the residents to judge and criticise.<\/p>\n

Dube referred to the three prior presidents\u2019 leadership as jelly-like and spineless. Zondo contends that the ANC is the only thing that unites Zuma, Motlanthe, and Mbeki.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, according to the president\u2019s office, President Cyril Ramaphosa has denied misconduct while testifying before a parliamentary committee looking into whether he should be impeached for allegedly covering up a heist at his farmhouse.<\/p>\n

On Sunday, he released a statement in which he firmly denied any violation of the oath and any wrongdoing concerning the accusations against him.<\/p>\n
