DONT TELL ME 71 year old FORMER SOUTH AFRICAN PRESIDENT IS CONTESTING FOR A PARLIAMENTARY POSITION Some Gauteng ANC branches have nominated former president Thabo Mbeki to return to Parliament as an MP in a list packed with President Jacob Zuma’s critics or political rivals. Mbeki’s name appears on the 51st spot on the province’s list of 200 candidates for the National Assembly. Mbeki’s endorsement comes a few months after Gauteng ANC secretary David Makhura reportedly said the province had asked him to help woo middle-class voters to the ruling party, because of Zuma’s perceived unpopularity with that section of society. ANC secretary-general Gwede Mantashe has since dismissed the plan.
