Discussion | Mbeki blasts Zuma, defends his own legacy

JOHANNESBURG - Former President Thabo Mbeki used his Freedom Day Dialogue to lash out at Eskom and Jacob Zuma.

He lambasted Eskom for dropping the ball and plunging the country into darkness.

Mbeki also accused Zuma of being a wolf in sheep's skin, saying he had reversed many of the gains made.

The second democratic President oversaw the ANC during its period of highest popularity under democracy.

An eNCA poll also found him to be the most liked leader, even after his term was abruptly stopped.

We discuss this further with political analyst Mpumelelo Mkhabela.
