ANC battle 'only starting' Humiliation for Mbeki Choose ethical leader - Mbeki SA politics are 'a joke'

Pretoria - The only difference between newly elected ANC president Jacob Zuma and former president Thabo Mbeki was their leadership style, Mbeki said on Friday.

Addressing media in Pretoria, Mbeki said he was not "aloof", contrary to what people thought.

Referring to Zuma, Mbeki said: "He is a man of the people. People are entitled to make that sort of distinction."

People who preferred one person over another engaged in a process to ensure that the person they preferred was elected, he said.

The behaviour displayed on the first day of the ANC's national conference in Polokwane was "quite unacceptable", Mbeki added.
