as mandela's government versus. and that i'm not is optimistic and is mad at colleagues of you know that is the one nine hundred ninety s. in south africa but i've heard this comparison to you know many people have said that so remark was in the new agency will be going back to kind of mandela in c. and i think that's also something that we need to trace and if we need to critique the a.d.f. of we. see in government got us and you know what what we need now given that the context is different so i think we need to also criticize those kind of easy comparisons mandela. i see the significant point where we can we can talk about how you know tenure as state president was positive for the kanshi but i think we also need to be critical of that and that comparison similarly to the comparison of. commie i want to bring it up because it's mentioned something that you referenced earlier zuberi similar but tung on twitter says when i joined the a.n.c. in one nine hundred eighty nine there was a movement that wanted to give a

long live the spirit of nelson mandela. long live. of nelson mandela.ly, mandela is invoked, to condemn the excesses under president jacob zuma. nelson mandela was totally committed against corruption, against theft, against the robbery of the assets of our people. we will continue with his legacy. of the assets of our people. for the last week, cyril ramaphosa and jacob zuma have been negotiating the state president's exit strategy. it seems to come down to the sequencing of his departure. this is a commemoration but frankly it feels like the beginning of a coronation because cyril ramaphosa has given the clearest signal yet that the age ofjacob zuma is coming to an end. tomorrow, the anc‘s national executive committee meets and many people here expect and hope that very soon, cyril ramaphosa will be this country's president. very soon, cyril ramaphosa will be i caught up with him as he left cape town. mr ramaphosa, is tomorrow d—day? as he left cape town. we'll talk to you after that. as he left cape town. thank you. as he left cape town. bye— bye. as

in the movie ration but nelson mandela knew the person he had cerebral palsy he's a trained lawyer and so he then went to him and approached him and austin to lead the if it's a building over the drafting a new constitution for south africa before that he had a history as a student activist this is a trade unionist who came from you know the sort of the the flaw in my essentially so in that time you build a lot of relationships with a lot of political pays a lot of things that we're seeing in that part of it house today you sense went on to go into business that you went into the mining sector has come back one of south africa's wealthiest men but certainly kept the political ties and his time out of politics while you was to business really kept him away from the scene of scandal essentially and so he by and large has as opinion record although there is an issue with that with so repulsive that the opposition is very quick to remind people about is that you will remember the money kind of shootings in two thousand and thirteen that is when police shot and killed thirty four striking m

where yes now mandela very specifically when he turned from the nonviolent mass struggle in the early sixty's was directing targeted sabotage against the facilities of oppression what we've seen since roughly fifteen twenty years rising township protests where unfortunately many of the social activists in their communities have been so frustrated they've not only blockaded roads burned tires but they've taken on municipal buildings even burning libraries and schools these are tactics and they appear very violent period that the townships are burning but i think actually the real danger to the system will come when they.

didn't happen in fact so upset he didn't attend mass mandela as it will be ration batsman in a went on to give him the i'm now pleading if it's to draft a new constitution for south africa a constitution that's effectively seen him being sworn in today he is a businessman you know that when he left politics and he didn't become president off to mandela he went into business he's since come back once a life because wealthiest men he's been embraced by south africans across the radio the border they see him as you know that the kind of president that embodies all they have their values they look closely at my mental and they think that's the reports that will carry out the same legacy because of the fact that he was pretty much made in his understudy and so the fact that he's also a wealthy man a lot of south africans think he's not in this for the money that he's not going to be interested in looting the state office. as as we have seen allegations leveled against president jacob zuma for doing just that so a lot of excitement across the board and just interesting listening to a.n.c.

so he has a lot of respect also when he didn't get the presidency after mandela he went into business that means he by and large has a as squeaky clean political record he's not been involved in any stand also to say on the political friends of people look at a man who has a shop business mind because he's one of south africa's richest men today but also a keen politician who's not been involved in embroiled in all of the kinds of scandals that we see associated jacobson's presidency so investment bring the jobs back these you know how to talk the language of business to not that cabinet get rid of all those ministers that all indicated in corruption allegations people think this is the man that's going to do it for them in south africa right could be a decisive day for south africa's future our correspondent christine with us here in studio thank you christine. now russian investigators are searching for clues as to what brought down an airliner on sunday outside moscow killing all seventy one people on board the saratov airlines regional jet disappeared from radar screens about four

nelson mandela under pressure from the a.n.c. went for somebody else to be his deputy. there we have a moment of respect for the process going on there inside the parliament building. obviously a highly significant moment there for south african politics people are saying that the end scene now has to go through a period of soul searching those allegations of corruption of course have been around for a good few years they have in effect gone at no place until this point. when it became clear that jacob zuma had to step aside because he either worked out for himself or he was told you will not win that vote of no confidence there is a feeling as well that still run a poster who is in his own right a very very wealthy businessman these days is so wealthy that he doesn't need to be corrupt he doesn't have to indulge in those areas that are being questioned even as we speak right now to do with very specifically i guess the group the family as well but he did feel overlooked because he wanted to hitch his political weapon to nelson m

rhythm and the beacon for mandela rhythm and the question is whether he can rekindle that.ndle that. i must say that these, in his track record, the miners, he was one of the directors of the company, and he took the side of the company, and he took the side of the company, and he took the side of the employers. he did apologise for that later. he apologised, of the employers. he did apologise forthat later. he apologised, but he isa forthat later. he apologised, but he is a political leader and he should have known better. now he is the president of south africa. whose side is he going to be on? the miners, the business... thomas, your a nswer to miners, the business... thomas, your answer to those questions? when he held the microphone for mandela, it leads me to think that the future of south africa rests as much with what happens to the anc, they are essentially are linked, we need to see whether there is a possibility of the emergence of a new opposition party... that matters because as we know, so you need a significant opposition. i think the anc by itself will try i

the party of nelson mandela can it cleanses revive itself under civil pools or do you think it looks like it's quite a capable manager is a certain. direction has done very well in business. and is quite respected in south africa having. drafted the constitution of sort of second so it looks like the bases now and one on the right path towards towards towards revival as a tour and that's a good thing if they are on the right path because there's no shortage of challenges facing south africa at the moment how will serve obama pose of go about . keeping the core voices you know the core base of the african national congress happy with the many challenges that they a facing like poverty very high unemployment and keeping on the economy the business and economy in mind balancing those two things that's going to be a k challenge ahead of the election is that not what i think they see on paper it's on right political to trajectory but of course people have been patient there's been a lot of promises made since the time of lots of mandela so i think that the if if if if the a.b.c. start del
