“Today’s South Africa is profoundly better than South Africa under Apartheid. I don’t care about what people say… there are things we haven’t done right and we accept that, but this country is better than when it was under Apartheid,” he said.Mashatile listed some of ANC’s successes and said there were other areas that still needed to be addressed.
“I have gone throughout the country meeting traditional leasers, premiers, MECs, executive mayors and NGOs talking about the fact that we need to fast-track the issue of land so that our people can be able to get into agriculture and make sure that we have food security,” Mashatile said. “We understand as the leadership of the ANC that we haven’t done everything and that’s why we wanted a manifesto review because we think it’s important you must a say in what you think is a success or a failure.
