Podcasts about Mbeki

Former South African President Thabo Mbeki clearly articulated that the enduring conflicts in Africa stem directly from inadequate leadership.He underscored that although failures in leadership are a significant factor contributing to the instability and prolonged conflicts throughout the continent, this reality should never be used as an excuse for African nations to forsake democratic governance.Mbeki made these statements during a virtual keynote address focused on democratic governance and peacebuilding in Africa.This address coincided with the launch of three books celebrating the 84th birthday of Gen. Abdulsalami Abubakar (retd.), a former military Head of State of Nigeria.He called upon African nations to actively eliminate internal and structural barriers that hinder progress across the continent.Additionally, he commended Gen. Abubakar for his enduring dedication to peacebuilding, stabilization, and the promotion of democracy throughout Africa.Mbeki's remarks align with a series of pointed criticisms he has leveled against both regional and national governance frameworks.He has previously condemned the African Union (AU) for its perceived weakness and structural inadequacies in addressing ongoing regional crises, including those in Sudan, West Africa, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.On the domestic front, Mbeki has consistently maintained that the frequent changes in leadership and policy inconsistencies have led to South Africa's extended economic decline, stressing that structural domestic challenges should be attributed to governance failures rather than being unfairly blamed on migrants.Thabo Mbeki is a South African economist and politician who served as the country's second democratic president from 1999 to 2008. A leading anti-apartheid activist, he succeeded Nelson Mandela. Mbeki focused heavily on growing the African economy and famously championed the African Renaissance

Former President Thabo Mbeki says the Phala Phala saga is a personal issue for President Cyril Ramaphosa, not an ANC matter. Speaking to SABC news specialist correspondent, Sophie Mokoena, Mbeki welcomed the Constitutional Court's decision to set aside Parliament's 2022 vote against impeaching Ramaphosa. The case relates to allegations of 580,000 US dollars stolen from the President's Limpopo farm. Mbeki argued the ANC should not involve itself in what he described as a private affair. We spoke to ATM Parliamentary Leader, Vuyo Zungula.

Former presidents Jacob Zuma and Thabo Mbeki have moved to have retired Justice Sisi Khampepe recused from chairing the TRC prosecutions inquiry, a move angering some victims' families. They cite alleged conflicts of interest linked to her past roles and question her impartiality. Khampepe rejects the claims. The commission has confirmed it received both applications, which will be heard together on 16 January, as families await long-delayed accountability for apartheid-era crimes. Sakina Kamwendo spoke to Human Settlements Minister Thembi Simelane, whose sister Nokuthula Simelane was murdered by apartheid security police in 1983.

John Endres and Nicholas Lorimer discuss the recent comments by former president Thabo Mbeki on South Africa needing a better way to choose presidents. They also discuss ANC defections to the DA and they discuss the latest internal battle in MK. Website · Facebook · Instagram · Twitter

Big disagreements and divisions are at the heart of some major current political developments here in South Africa and abroad. We speak to columnist and commentator Jonathan Katzenellenbogen. He dissects the row between former president Thabo Mbeki and President Cyril Ramaphosa over the process for the National Dialogue; the row between Reserve Bank Governor Lesetja Kganyago and Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana over prospects for a tighter inflation target; US President Donald Trump's ongoing Tariff War and African National Congress (ANC) SG Fikile Mbalula's defiance over possible sanctions against the party's leaders; Trump's upcoming meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin from which Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and the Europeans are excluded; as well as divisions that have emerged between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Israeli Defense Force (IDF) chiefs and allies over Gaza.

The ANC has vowed to reflect on the political implications of the DA's decision to withdraw from the National Dialogue following the dismissal of former Deputy Minister of Trade and Industry, Andrew Whitfield. The DA has also called on civil society organisations to reconsider their support for the dialogue. Last week President Cyril Ramaphosa fired Whitfield for undertaking a US trip without authorisation. But DA leader John Steenhuisen says Ramaphosa's action was unfair as he fails to act against errant ANC ministers. Jon Gericke spoke to Moeletsi Mbeki, a political analyst.

Die Universiteit van Pretoria se Fakulteit Menslike Wetenskappe het 'n eredoktorsgraad toegeken aan oudpresident Thabo Mbeki se vrou, Zanele, vir haar lewenslange bevordering van 'n inklusiewe samelewing en die regte van vroue. Dit fokus spesifiek op die bemagtiging van landelike vroue en die versterking van hulle stemme. Mbeki het die organisasie Women in Dialogue gestig om 'n stem aan Afrika se vroue te gee. Sy het gegradueerdes aangemoedig om hulle vaardighede te gebruik om hulle uit armoede op te hef:

Former President, Thabo Mbeki has called on African leaders to advance the continent's priorities in the upcoming G20 Leaders Summit. Speaking to members of the media on the sidelines of preparations of the 15th Thabo Mbeki Africa Day Lecture, Mbeki said the G20 summit will provide a platform for Africa's issues to be placed on the global agenda. Boingiwe Zwane spoke to International editor, Sophie Mokoena.

In today's BizNews Briefing, Bronwyn Nielsen unpacks Donald Trump's dramatic tariff moves - pausing some, hiking others, and sending markets soaring. The NASDAQ and S&P 500 post their biggest daily gains in decades. Then, we dive into SA-US relations with sharp insights from voices across the spectrum: Fikile Mbalula, Helen Zille, Moeletsi Mbeki, and more. Is it time for South Africa to reset its approach to Washington?

This episode of the BizNews Briefing focuses on the big news of the moment for South Africans - fragility of the GNU and the imminent enforcement of Trump Tariffs. There's context and advice from Moeletsi Mbeki, Helen Zille, The Economist and the FT.

Political analyst Moeletsi Mbeki strips off SA's hypocrisy band aide to explain how the nation needs to understand its one-way relationship with the USA (in SA's favour) would always need to rebalance - so instead of moaning about Trump, the onus is on Pretoria to design something that works for both countries. Mbeki also shares insights on what was actually a respectful approach by Big Business to keeping the GNU together; and explains how BEE attacks SA's most important need - fostering entrepreneurship among the demographic majority.

At the seventh BizNews Conference (BNC#7) in Hermanus, political scientist Moeletsi Mbeki delivered a searing critique of South Africa's century-long nationalist rule, blaming Afrikaner and African nationalism for the country's economic and social woes. He argued that policies like Black Economic Empowerment, rooted in entitlement and corruption, have deepened the nation's "hole." Mbeki urged the Democratic Alliance (DA), the second-largest party, to seize the moment, reject nationalism, and outline a bold plan to secure 51% of the vote and rescue South Africa from decline. In his post-keynote Q&A with BizNews founder Alec Hogg, Mbeki tackled questions on South Africa's rejection of nationalism, the ANC's decline, and the DA's potential to lead. He dismissed fears of ANC coalitions with EFF and MK as unrealistic, emphasized the need for a constituency-based electoral system, and criticized the bloated public service draining the economy. Mbeki urged the DA to leverage its influence and called for stronger ties with the US, separating South Africa's interests from ANC failures.

The BizNews Conference 7 in Hermanus is in full swing, featuring top speakers like Deputy President Paul Mashatile, Discovery CEO Adrian Gore, and UK entrepreneur Arron Banks. Highlights include sharp insights from political analyst Moeletsi Mbeki on BEE and Eskom CEO Dan Marokane on tackling load shedding. Stay tuned for full interviews and exclusive content on BizNewsTV.

Voormalige Suid-Afrikaanse president Thabo Mbeki het die stigterspresident Sam Nujoma geloof as 'n moedige en beginselvaste leier wat onvermoeid geveg het teen apartheid en kolonialisme vir Afrika se bevryding. Mbeki het tydens 'n gesamentlike gedenkdiens wat deur die Namibiese Hoë Kommissariaat en UNISA in Pretoria aangebied is gepraat.

Amy MacIver and legal journalist Karyn Maughan explore the persistent delays in prosecuting apartheid-era crimes referred by the TRC, and the alleged political interference during the Mbeki administration. Maughan highlighted the emotional toll on victims' families, who are now suing the government for damages and pushing for an inquiry into the suppression of justice.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Oudpresident Thabo Mbeki sê die vernuwingsproses in die ANC is noodsaaklik vir sy oorlewing. Hy het die ANC se Dullah Omar-streek in die Wes-Kaap toegespreek tydens ʼn bespreking met die titel “Uitdagings wat die ANC en die Nasionale Demokratiese Rewolusie in die gesig staar”. Mbeki sê die party moet ernstig introspeksie doen om vas te stel of hy nog genoeg vermoë het om die land te lei:

Oudpresident Thabo Mbeki sê die ANC se hernuwingsproses kan nie volgens faksies gedoen word nie. Hy het 'n vernuwingswerksessie van die ANC Gauteng in Boksburg aan Johannesburg se Oos-Rand toegespreek. In die verkiesing in Mei het die party se steun vir die eerste keer sedert die koms van demokrasie onder 50-persent gedaal. Mbeki sê die hernuwing van die ANC om die steun van die mense terug te wen, sal afhang van die verbetering van die gehalte van sy ledetal:

Forscher Salim Abdool Karim und die Autoren Pieter Fourie und Mark Gevisser erklären wie es zu der Katastrophe kam, warum Mbeki auf AIDS-Leugner hörte und was die Welt daraus lernen kann.

L'Afrique du Sud célèbre, en cette fin du mois d'avril, les 30 ans des premières élections multiraciales, et l'avènement de la démocratie. Le 27 avril 1994, après un scrutin historique, Nelson Mandela était élu président, et le pays tournait la page des années apartheid. Depuis, l'ANC s'est toujours maintenu au pouvoir. L'économie a continué à se développer, et le pays est désormais l'un des plus industrialisés du continent, mais le bilan est plutôt contrasté. De notre correspondante à Johannesburg,Pour l'économiste Azar Jammine, le pays a en fait connu, depuis 1994, deux périodes : avant et après la présidence de Jacob Zuma, marquée par la corruption. « Les quinze premières années ont été plutôt un succès. Le pays a connu une croissance moyenne de 3% par an, entre 1994 et 2001. Et ensuite, presque 5% par an entre 2001 et 2007. Il faut dire que cela coïncidait avec un boom des prix des matières premières, donc tout allait bien. Mais à partir de 2012, l'économie sud-africaine a fait très peu de progrès, avec une baisse significative de la croissance », détaille-t-il.Le FMI prévoit désormais une croissance de 0,9% en 2024 pour le pays. Et même si le nombre d'emplois a augmenté depuis 1994, le rythme n'a pas été assez soutenu, puisque près de 32% des Sud-Africains sont au chômage – et en particulier les populations noires. De plus, les politiques de discrimination positive n'ont pas suffisamment permis de transformer le monde du travail, selon Xhanti Payi, économiste pour PwC.« Faciliter l'inclusion au sein de l'économie a été un défi, si l'on regarde qui est à la tête des entreprises, ou qui possède la richesse en Afrique du Sud. L'ancien président Mbeki parlait même de deux économies », rappelle l'expert. « Or, l'inclusion est importante, car lorsqu'on distribue la richesse, on en crée aussi un peu plus, puisque davantage de gens vont avoir de quoi consommer, et de quoi contribuer. »Le salaire minimum, « une des réussites de l'ANC »L'Afrique du Sud reste ainsi l'un des pays les plus inégalitaires au monde, selon l'indice de Gini. « Un des gros problèmes en termes de réduction sur le long terme de la pauvreté et des inégalités, c'est le manque d'actifs détenus par la majorité de la population sud-africaine », met en avant Isobel Frye, la directrice du think tank Social Policy Initiative (SPI).« Sous l'apartheid, les communautés noires ne pouvaient presque pas posséder de terres. Pareil pour les petites entreprises, les gens étaient prolétarisés et dépendants de leurs salaires. Et les salaires, pour ceux qui sont employés, et surtout pour les emplois semi ou peu qualifiés, sont très bas. Donc, l'introduction d'un salaire minimum est l'une des réussites de l'ANC », ajoute-t-elle.Le système d'allocations sociales, parmi les plus développés du continent, est une bouée pour les plus pauvres : près de 30% de la population en bénéficie, sans compter l'aide post-Covid toujours distribuée.

It appears two former presidents of South Africa are going in opposite directions when it comes to who they will be supporting in the May 29, 2024 general election. The South African Mail & Guardian reports former President Thabo Mbeki says he will campaign for the African National Congress (ANC). On the other hand, former President Jacob Zuma has accepted to be the candidate of the uMkhonto we Sizwe (MK) party. This, as recent polls show the ANC is likely to lose its parliamentary majority for the first time since the party was led by Nelson Mandela 30 years ago. Professor Sipho Seepe, a political analyst and former Deputy Vice Chancellor for Institutional Support at the University of Zululand, tells VOA's James Butty, former President Mbeki might be trying to be relevant while Zuma, who is popular with his supporters, has a criminal conviction hanging over his head.

If the polls are correct, the ANC faces the possibility of losing its majority in South Africa's national elections on the 29th of May this year. So, what went wrong for Nelson Mandela's once proud political movement? Businessman and independent political analyst, Moeletsi Mbeki has identified five deadly sins that have contributed to the ANC's downfall and the country's current issues. In an interview with Biznews, Mbeki highlights the policies of Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment (BBBEE) and the ANC's decision to cultivate a middle class through public service employment and affirmative action, rather than fostering entrepreneurship. He notes that these employees are among the highest-paid civil servants in the world. Mbeki also criticises the ANC's decision to retain state-owned enterprises instead of privatising them, citing the success of privatised company SASOL. The fourth and fifth sins, according to Mbeki, are the government's policy failures in Zimbabwe and Mozambique and the removal of military control over South Africa's land borders, leaving the country vulnerable. He poses the question: Who can prevent Islamist rebels from entering South Africa and planting landmines? President Ramaphosa, Mbeki said, has repeatedly made it clear that he is sticking to these policies and the ANC is not planning to change course. As a result, public support for the ANC is waning due to these “five deadly sins.” Mbeki forecasts that whatever government is produced by the coming election, the ANC will remain central to it. This means he said, “We will continue with this stagnation we are sitting with. Whoever is in coalition with the ANC will have to live with that.”

Another big name from the business sector has thrown his name in the hat as a presidential candidate for the opposition in South Africa. He is Roger Jardine, the former PRIMEDIA CEO and FirstRand chair. Jardine was also reported to have had discussions with the Democratic Alliance's John Steenhuisen and Helen Zille as the Multi-Party Charter is seeking an alternative presidential candidate. Political analyst, Moeletsi Mbeki said the problem he had with candidates like Roger Jardin and Songezo Zibi from Rise Mzansi is that they were the employers of big businesses, they were not the owners of capital. To really make an impact, what is needed is that one of the captains of industry, the owners of the banks, retail companies and mining industry stand for elections and challenge the ANC. Moreover, South Africa, he said, did not have an electoral system that allowed a central figure to rise like businessman Sam Matekane from Lesotho who won an election seven months after forming a political party. He said he believed that individuals can't solve South Africa's problems and that there will be no miracles that will come out of South Africa's 2024 elections. Mbeki also commented on President Nelson Mandela's legacy 10 years after his death and said the deal that the ANC got from the National Party was much better than expected if the ANC's real strength on the ground is taken into account. He said the negotiated constitution is a good constitution and people who criticise it know nothing about the reality of South Africa at the time. He again blasted the ANC's black empowerment policies saying it is the result of an elite riddled with an inferiority complex who think they should get wealth from white people and that they cannot create wealth through their own risk-taking and hard work.

Asia's economic success stories have been extensively documented in numerous books, attracting a steady stream of visitors to countries like China, Singapore, Vietnam, and South Korea who seek to witness their remarkable growth. Naturally, this prompts the question: What lessons can Africa learn from these experiences, and who should serve as an inspiration? In an interview with Biznews, political analyst, Moeletsi, presents a fresh perspective, suggesting that South Africa should redirect its focus away from the East and instead look to the New World, particularly the United States that we should emulate. In an interview with Biznews, Mbeki draws parallels between the American experience and South Africa's emphasising the need for South Africa to break free from its neo-colonial economic structure imposed by the British, which heavily relies on the export of raw materials. He says that the big mining companies show little interest in beneficiation, instead focusing on excavation and calls for a revolutionary shift to proper industrialisation which includes a fundamental overhaul of South Africa's education system.

Political analyst and Chairperson of the South African Institute of International Affairs (SAIIA), Moeletsi Mbeki says it's evident from high employment, collapsing infrastructure, a deteriorating healthcare system and ailing security apparatus that the ANC government is not coping with its responsibilities and that the global status of South Africa has declined enormously, In an interview with Biznews, he also criticised the negative impact of black economic empowerment on the economy and on social cohesion. Change would be possible through the 2024 elections, he said, by a coalition of opposition parties. Mbeki called for the private sector to play an active role in politics, urging individual business leaders to intervene rather than simply advising the government. However, he dismissed the notion of a messiah-like figure driving this process. – Linda van Tilburg Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Over the previous few months, three former presidents have voiced their opinions. And there have been questions about the public disputes between Thabo Mbeki, Kgalema Motlanthe, and Jacob Zuma that concentrated on the ANC in KwaZulu-Natal. Zuma charged treason and corruption against Cyril Ramaphosa, his successor. Former president Kgalema Motlanthe has expressed concern that President Ramaphosa's failure to provide a comprehensive public justification for the Phala Phala scandal is endangering the office, and former President Thabo Mbeki has questioned what it will mean for Ramaphosa to move toward the ANC elective conference while he is still subject to impeachment. Later ANC KZN provincial secretary Bheki Mtolo issued a statement saluting the three leaders, presidents of the ANC, Mbeki, Zuma and Motlanthe, and pointed out that each of them would have their footprints and legacy remaining with them for many years to come. Bheki Mtolo, the provincial secretary for the ANC in KZN, later released a statement in which he saluted the three ANC presidents—Mbeki, Zuma, and Motlanthe—and noted that each would leave behind a legacy. The political experts Xolani Dube and Prof. Siphamandla Zondo spoke with Radio Islam on the three leaders' legacies. Dube claims that the ANC and the leaders have failed the people of South Africa. He advised them to hold off on criticism, particularly given that they have many questions to answer and should leave the residents to judge and criticise.
