Former president Thabo Mbeki signed a pledge that he would be voting for the African National Congress in the May 8 elections.
Johannesburg - Former president Thabo Mbeki on Tuesday signed a pledge that he would be voting for the African National Congress in the May 8 elections, after he previously said his vote would be a secret.
He said it was difficult for him to campaign for the ANC under Zuma's leadership because of the "wrong things" that were happening during that period. "The manifesto of the ANC, it's got a section which talks about the ANC has made many mistakes, that it has also veered off course and talks about the consequences of that which includes corruption, loss of integrity, lawlessness. It was very important that the ANC should say that, to say to the people of South Africa that we recognise these things.""ANC was finally owning up to its mistakes and admitted that it had veered off course.
Mbeki also spoke about the party's controversial parliamentary list, saying it was up to the ANC's integrity committee to decide on the matter.
