Thabo Mbeki Vows To Rid South Africa’s ANC Of ‘Rotten Apples’

South Africa’s former President Thabo Mbeki has vowed to remove “rotten apples” and “thieves” from the governing African National Congress (ANC) party. The 81-year-old was on the campaign trail for the ANC for the first time ahead of elections in May. He made the pledge in front of cheering crowds in Soweto as the party that has governed since the end of white-minority rule in 1994 faces allegations of corruption and mismanagement. Last week, protesters from Soweto took to a major highway to show their anger about a lack of basic services in the township outside Johannesburg that witnessed widespread civil unrest during apartheid. The demonstrators blocked a major highway with rubble, burned tyres and pelted stones at motorists to show their anger.
