Guest: Moeletsi Mbeki, South African political economist

The ANC has been in government ever since the end of the apartheid system of racial segregation in 1994, but its reputation as South Africa’s liberator has been eroded and its support has gradually declined. The ANC has had thirty years to demonstrate its capabilities. There is no doubting that a promising beginning was made, but the national government has been accountable for nearly everything that is dysfunctional, but it continues to attempt to centralise authority over an increasing number of things while providing very little of the "better life for all" that it has promised.

• Why do you say there is no such a thing as the sixth administration?
• How do you imagine a system where the President is voted for by the people and not party members?
• Can a party president who subsequently becomes state president, not be critiqued as a leader and how he/she lead in his/her tenure
