Former President Thabo Mbeki has warned that South Africa is in a state of crisis, urging citizens to speak out about the country’s challenges. Speaking at the ANC’s Dullah Omar region political outreach programme in Cape Town, Mbeki highlighted the African National Congress (ANC)’s struggle, noting a significant decline in its support—over 30 percent in 20 years—resulting in the party’s loss of parliamentary majority.
Mbeki emphasized the importance of a national dialogue, encouraging ordinary South Africans to voice their concerns and shape the future of the nation. He stated, “The country is in real crisis, and it’s about time that the ordinary people of our country speak out.
Let the people speak and say this is the South Africa we want.” Mbeki’s call for a national conversation reflects his belief that a collective discussion is crucial to addressing the pressing issues facing the country and its leadership.
