Don't betray Mandela's legacy, warns Mbeki | News | National | Mail & Guardian: "Former president Thabo Mbeki spoke firmly on Sunday evening about the importance of strong leadership and honouring South Africa's constitution, in his first public address since Nelson Mandela passed away."Do we have the quality of leadership such as was exemplified by Nelson Mandela and others sufficient to respond to the challenges we face?" asked Mbeki who repeatedly warned against betraying Mandela's legacy and values.
Mbeki said South Africa had rightly been asked to celebrate Mandela's life instead of just mourning. "But I don't think we should end there, we must also ask ourselves a question: What about the future? I think as we celebrate the life of Nelson Mandela, this becomes a central task: to ensure we do not betray what he and others sacrificed for.""
