Adriaan Basson | Mbeki must be sincere about his own role in the demise of the ANC

President Cyril Ramaphosa deserves the criticism, but he is certainly not the only one to blame for our sad state of affairs and the demise of the ANC, writes Adriaan Basson.

Sometimes, you have to feel for President Cyril Ramaphosa. Despite his best efforts to resuscitate the ANC after years of capture by crony networks, provincial mafias and international syndicates, the party's KwaZulu-Natal chapter rejected his reformist agenda over the weekend and elected leaders loyal to former president and parolee Jacob Zuma.
