Former president was a relentless political rival of the incumbent
Former president Thabo Mbeki’s criticism of the ANC parliamentary caucus refers .
Mbeki was silent when the ANC protected Jacob Zuma after the Constitutional Court ruling on Nkandla. It is therefore opportunistic of him to attack the ANC over its section 89 decision to protect Ramaphosa. There has been no Constitutional Court ruling on the Phala Phala saga. Unfortunately, the court refused to entertain the matter. What more was Ramaphosa expected to do? The ANC’s hands were tied because it would not take a premature decision while waiting on the court ruling.
It is disingenuous of Mbeki to accuse the ANC of abusing its majority to subvert the constitution when he blatantly did so during his term as president. Mbeki flagrantly abused his office by firing Vusi Pikoli as head of the National Prosecuting Authority when he was about to charge a prominent member of the ANC with corruption.
