I can't wait to respond to my critics without restrictions - Zuma
19 July 2017
Empangeni - President Jacob Zuma did not spare his critics during the Nelson Mandela Memorial Lecture in Empangeni on Tuesday night.
Zuma first took a jibe at former presidents Thabo Mbeki and Kgalema Motlanthe and former deputy president Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka for "sharing a platform with (FW) de Klerk".
The national foundations of the three former presidents and Mlambo-Ngcuka were part of the recent national dialogues initiative in Braamfontein.
The foundations had joined other foundations to discuss the “deep and pervasive national general crisis” facing the country.
