Time to hit reset button on ANC? Ramaphosa resignation would be the right thing, says Mbeki - EWN

Former president Thabo Mbeki has slammed President Cyril Ramaphosa's leadership following the ANC's worst electoral performance since the dawn of democracy in South Africa.

The party received just 30.7% of the national vote in the local government elections, with secretary-general Fikile Mbalula describing the result as 'catastrophic'.

Speaking on Dr Mbuyiseni Ndlozi’s podcast this week, Mbeki said he was made aware of a report in which it is claimed that Ramaphosa offered to resign as a consequence of the results.

“And when I saw that, I said, I think he’s taking the correct position," he told the podcast host and former EFF politician.
