Beyond sales: Mbeki calls for engagement with his book, ANC Today Letters: Volume 1
When delivering his address at the launch, Thabo Mbeki , dressed in a coloured shirt and traditional tie with Ndebele patterns, acknowledged receiving them as a gift from Esther Mahlangu.Recalling his experience as deputy president, Mbeki shared that there had been no handover from the previous deputy, leaving them with the"complex" task of discussing and implementing planned programmes, such as RDP, without sufficient resources.
The launch of Thabo Mbeki's book drew a diverse crowd, including media representatives, business leaders, ANC members and curious individuals.Mbeki's heartfelt wish, however, went beyond mere sales. He implored attendees to not only purchase the book but truly read it, absorb its insights, and engage with the ideas and experiences shared within its pages.
"There was no handover from a previous deputy president. We were starting afresh. We tried our best," he admitted."I'm sure there were mistakes we made and wrong things we did."
