  • In this episode of Head to Head, Mehdi Hasan challenges African National Congress (ANC) stalwart Baleka Mbete on whether, in the 25 years since apartheid, her party has betrayed Nelson Mandela's legacy and the dreams of South Africa's rainbow nation.
    Over the past quarter century, access to education has significantly improved and the rights of all South Africans to free basic healthcare has been guaranteed.
    But the ANC's successes have been overshadowed by rising youth unemployment, recent xenophobic attacks on African immigrants and ongoing allegations of systemic corruption, with former President Jacob Zuma currently facing trial.
    From fighting apartheid, Mbete rose to become one of South Africa's most powerful women, serving as deputy president, speaker of the National Assembly, and chair of the ANC.
    We ask whether the ANC, and Mbete personally, have done enough to hold Zuma to account, and keep Mandela's dream of a united Africa alive.
    Hasan and Mbete are joined by a panel of three experts:
    - Makhosi Khoza - former South African politician who resigned from the ANC in 2017, after calling for President Zuma to step down
    - Xolani Xala - founder of South African Business Abroad and member of the ANC
    - Andrew Feinstein - former South African politician and author of 'After the Party: A Personal Journey Inside the ANC'. He is now director of Corruption Watch UK
    Has South Africa's ruling party betrayed Mandela's legacy? With Baleka Mbete, first broadcast on October 18, 2019, at 20:00 GMT with repeats on October 19 at 12:00GMT, October 20 at 01:00 GMT, and October 21 at 06:00 GMT.

      I am, unfortunately. This interview happened in a "better" time before the ravages brought on by the lockdown here in SA, where we still find ourselves at level 3. Things were less than 'peachy' at the time of this interview and clearly, we are a country that would not fare well amidst a global 'pandemic'. Now, after the economic suicide of the lockdown, orchestrated and led by the ANC Government mind you, the country's decline has been accelerated with unemployment spiraling out of control.
      Does anyone believe the ANC Gov can do anything to assist our country in any way to bounce back? What we have seen is looting and stealing of funds meant for Covid Aid; the loans and bail-outs they have and will still receive is like handing piles of sweets to unsupervised kids and telling them not to eat any! Once again the ANC members and their cadres prosper, from this 'crisis' while their people starve, more than ever!
      The writing is on the wall, the country is lost, hope is lost by most, everyone can see now what is happening, just empty promises. Talk is cheap and the ANC does not have the ability to take action - we need a miracle!

Look at south Africa, Zimbabwe. The political parties basically thugs and work hard to keep much of the electorate ignorant. So it's easy to blame anyone except themselves.

I think being an ANC member I realize that we need a serious turnaround strategy otherwise we have taken the role of former apartheid government and we have excelled at impoverishing our community further.

      @White Brad Bad Maybe you're right, but go into the townships and tell our old parents and grandparents who experienced Apartheid first hand to vote for white people and see how they'll react. That's the only reason why the ANC is still dominating. Parents brainwashing their young children of how without the ANC, Apartheid would still be here and would continue. We grew up with such fears... And sadly not a lot can think for themselves that it was simply a hoax, you shouldn't feel indebted to a party in a free democracy.
