At the launch of his book, ANC Today Letters: Volume 1, Thabo Mbeki, former president of South Africa, delved into the challenges he faced while in office. Recalling his experience as deputy president, Mbeki shared that there had been no handover from the previous deputy, leaving them with the “complex” task of discussing and implementing planned programmes, such as RDP, without sufficient resources.
The highly anticipated book was launched at Melrose Arch in Johannesburg on Friday, 26 April. The book is a collection of his famous ANC Today Letters, in which he expressed his opinions on topical matters weekly. The event drew a diverse crowd, including media representatives, business leaders, ANC members and curious individuals.
As the Thabo Mbeki Foundation announced that only 30 copies of the book were available to be signed by the former president, excitement rippled through the audience, with eager readers rushing to secure their copies. by Yamkeleka Manjeya
The book was edited by Sifiso Ndlovu and published by Skotaville Academic Publishing.
