POLITICAL NEWS - In an interview on eNCA’s programme The 1st Citizen, former president Thabo Mbeki discussed his view of South Africa 25 years into democracy.
Host Aldrin Sampear asked him to comment on the land debate, a matter he had already addressed in interviews to Sunday newspapers over the weekend.
Mbeki answered that South Africa should do the “land thing”, but on the basis of “an objective understanding of what the challenges are and what we need to do about it”.
He said he did not know if amending the constitution was the answer. “I would have preferred, before we come to resolutions, to understand the nature of the challenge. Once you understand it, you say what the action is you will take.”
