Replacing Mbeki with Zuma did not solve our problems - Nzimande
20 April 2017
Johannesburg - South African Communist Party general secretary Blade Nzimande has said they made a mistake by believing that removing President Thabo Mbeki and replacing him with President Jacob Zuma would resolve the problems they saw in the Mbeki presidency.
Mbeki was recalled in 2008 as the country's president.
"We are back where we were ten years ago. We dealt with the symptom and not fundamental problems," Nzimande said.
He was speaking on the side-lines of the Cosatu Gauteng's provincial council of shop stewards.
