According to the former president, the rolling power blackouts was one of the biggest problems facing the country, which could be resolved by having qualified leadership at the helm.
"Just before I came here, the former statistician-general, Pali Lehohla, was making a very interesting point about the energy crisis."He was saying Eskom is a big institution, but it is also a big business. Therefore, in terms of its leadership, we need engineers and economists, but what do we have as its leadership? We have politicians and accountants as its leadership.
"I am not saying he was right, but this is what he said. He was looking again at this question that I am trying to raise about the quality of leadership in our country. It's reflected with regards to this energy matter: Why do we seem to be incapable as a country of addressing this energy crisis? "Is it the issue that Lehohla raises that we should put engineers in charge? Maybe that is the answer," said the former statesman.At the funeral of ANC deputy secretary-general Jessie Duarte in July, Mbeki said the incumbent had failed to deliver the comprehensive social compact he had promised during his State of the Nation Address.In times of uncertainty you need journalism you can trust.

PetersWonderboy The current imigodoyi?🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
PetersWonderboy He is correct, CyrilRamaphosa is a useless leader.
Mr HIV holocaust slash 'I let Mugabe destroy Zimbabwe because I'm a Pan-Africanist' needs to shut up! All these ANC people are trash, we don't care who is less trashy.
Cyril is just a walkover, almost everyone in his party is baying for his blood, seemingly everything that has gone wrong with the ANC is on Ramaphosa's shoulders 😥
This is so much coming from someone who chose to spend funds on arms while there wasn't any threat of war,than allowing citizens to access treatment, amidst all that happened before Ramaphosa took power,he absolutely had no say at all, surely Ramaphosa is a walkover, sadly 😔
PetersWonderboy I cannot recall Thabo Mbeki criticising Nelson Mandela (1994-1999) nor Jacob Zuma criticising Mbeki (1999-2008) in this fashion. Mbeki criticised State capture which was nebulous in that it was used to achieve regime change by counter-revolutionaries. But this is unprecedented.
😂 😂 😂 Ja bcz when you were a leader all was perfect huh 😌. 🤡
PetersWonderboy I think he is right, look at how municipalities and provincial governments are failing. Many of them have no idea of what they are expected to do in those roles... it is sadly, the same South Africans who elect these persons to these roles who ultimately suffer the consequences😢
The SA presidency is a poisoned chalice, the amount of interference with its work is a serious risk for everybody, is it not amazing that almost everyone knows how to lead South Africa successfully, everyone has a say, give them space to focus of leading the country
But most of the deadwood was part of his own Cabinet 🙄
Cyril unity with thieves is his Achilles heel til he gets rid of that nonsense
Where exactly did Mbeki take a jab at CR. Did people criticising him here even read the article.
Since 2008
Nnete ya baba, shem!
Give that man a Bells 🍻🥂
Tell us something we dont know!!
Grade 5 Deputy President of Thabo Mobeki I thought He finished his schooling in Sub-B enough to be a herdboy Talk was quiet until recently bcuz You don't play marbles with The Zulu Nation. Ask Gwede what happened when he supposedly was to open KZN ANC Provincial Conference
He's right.
And Mbeki was just perfect of course. Bring on the garlic and beetroot.
CROP...Beetroot and Garlic the only Crop you talked about while letting thousands die
A bit rich coming from a man who had a Grade5 as his deputy.
It's clear that we are all the same. We can't do anything for ourselves. Look at the scramble for SA by the whole of Africa. It's because SA had been in different hands until recently. No one will admit but I see recolonisation on the horizon unless something drastic changes
Spoken like a true leader!
Mbeki is also a sellout 🦮🐕🚮
Mbeki a tlogele Ramaphosa a buse, o nnile le nako ya gagwe. Ke eng a sa mo gakolle mo sephiring jaaka e le batho ba mokgatlho o le nosi, go na le go mo nyatsa mo phatlhalatseng.👎
Mbeki is a failure and we on this Eskom mess because of him. He failed to fix Eskom long ago
errolbsk Derek_Hanekom
Stating the obvious here
So...was no difference when under him
Umfuna kubuya..
ThatGuyKabi He banna 😳😳
We, capable leaders, are kept at bay by those who are currently in leadership and are threatened by our rise
Mbeki is spot on he sees and touches to the problems our government tend to ignore even on the matter of Lesotho and Swasis who come into our country only to collect the grants with fake ID must be investigated by The_DSD LindiweSisuluSA
I have 10 quid and some lint that says TM or those close to him wil be charged before year end.
Once more Mbeki failed to call his ANC colleagues by what they are: clowns (R Hersov). They have destroyed our state enterprises and municipalities through incompetence & looting. Biggest looser are the poor citizens. Is this Mbeki's African Renaissance?
Thabo Mbeki is blowing hot air. He started the rubbish we are currently experiencing. Zuma and Ramaphosa inherited a state that was intentionally meant to breakdown from this bitter Old Man. He was always up sent from the country and thought going abroad guaranteed 3rd term.
AMEN. ABSOLUTELY. I agree
Looks like Malema might have a point about Thabo and Arthur
Shem...this whole loadshedding started in his administration. Where was he then
We are in loadshedding bcos he refused to built more power stations when he was adviced to do so. Can he produce any plan that he had in case we get into this current crisis
All of our leaders have left much to be desired. Some were definitely less corrupt than others, but were still bloody useless.
Mbeki was a good president. It is a pity he was betrayed by his party.
It's not a jab, it's the blunt truth
Thabo Mbeki is not special
You were just as bad…. Cut from the same thieving cloth….
Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma Ngconde Balfour Jacob Zuma Naledi Pandor Manto Tshabalala-Msimang Lindiwe Sisulu JUST A FEW PATHETIC MEMBERS OF YOUR CABINET MR Mbeki
This is the man who flooded urban areas with informal settlements, not caring where and how they established themselves. His only interest was in the votes they provided his party, and mostly, as a way to spite the so-called hardcore white racists in white suburbs.
Mbeki was told, by the then white Eskom engineers, to start building new power stations, if he was hoping to get every township, every informal settlement and all rural households on to the national grid AND HE IGNORED THEM. Had he listened we would not be where we are today.
I am surprised why he's too vocal about the current administration, but he was too quite about the past one.. 🤔
I remember when he was saying their party is taken over by 'imigodoyi' and they thought he meant Zuma looks like that was not the case cos he is on ramadollas case
The problem is politicians are not leaders.
Very true👍
All talk every day, no change....
Mister “HIV doesn’t cause AIDS” has the chutzpah to point fingers. His hands are also dirty.
Are people afraid to take on the former president. What did he do, while in office. He still hasn't answered on the murderous HIV decisions.
You misunderstand TMs input...
Pleaser Mr.Mbeki help us, this administration is trying to sell us out
What stands out to me: Eskom is the only SOE that is protected and managed by government. Prasa is on its knees the others are either bankrupt or nonexistent. Prasa was left alone to organized a loan. But Eskom? To much at stake.The money is endless. $bn's.All eyes on the money's
errolbsk address this my leader 🤔🤔..
Mbeki is not taking jabs against CyrilRamaphosa he is stating facts about that mattress puppet
People have been saying that and were ignored we have LeadershipcrisisinSA, every Tpm, Dick and Harry with MYANC membership card is deployed in any position without any educational background, experience & expertise. That's why SA is in such a mess
You still CRYING FOR 'Third Term' ... STOP Harrassing Cyril and Go For It, Mr. Remember: Sound Foundation IS KEY. YOU DISMALLY FAILED TO GROOM FUTURE LEADERS DURING YOUR TENURE BECAUSE YOU THOUGHT YOU WERE GOING TO BE LIKE MUGABE AND BY THE WAY YOU DESTROYED ZIMBABWEANS
Thabo always had a beef against Cyril. It goes back at the time Mandela nominated Cyril to be his deputy. And Thabo out manoeuvred and ostracised Cyril even from his government. He never liked Cyril anyway. Thabo doesnt talk solutions, has offered no solutions but lashes Cyril.
Meaning the ANC. Bunch of fat greedy cats
Let's not forget that Mbeki started the collapse of eskom by mothballing power stations against the advice of experts.
When a failure calls a failure a failure.know that the lights are out.
Sir,you too included.
His comments are valid but not comprehensive enough and unfair on CR. Firstly Mbeki was extremely quite under JZ. He should acknowledge his fresh air to speak. Secondly he should have addressed the ineffectiveness of ANC leadership stemming from the branch based factional system
Pot calling the kettle black (excuse the pun)!!!!
The Truth is now called a 'Jab'
If during his term of office there was quality leadership , we would not be in these challenges today.
Says a guy who refused to up his leadership game when HIV/AIDS was ravaging SA. A guy whose health minister advised people to eat beetroots to cure AIDS. Mvuyelwa should stop acting as though his poop doesn't smell!
