“Jacob Zuma and Cyril Ramaphosa caused high levels of crime and unemployment, not illegal immigrants. I was the head of state here, there were undocumented immigrants and the economy was growing, crime levels were down.” - President Thabo Mbeki 🇿🇦

@Absolute_Kganki The old man must just enjoy retirement peacefully 😭 every time he speaks it feels like he’s disconnected from what ordinary South Africans are dealing with on the ground.

@Absolute_Kganki I haven’t heard Mbeki telling the nation how did her wife become a millionaire or billionaire if the rumours are true that she benefited financially through his presidency

@Absolute_Kganki President Mbeki’s claim doesn’t fully hold up. His era benefited from a strong pre-2008 global economy. The global recession changed everything afterwards, and SA felt the impact like everyone else. He can’t judge his presidency in isolation from that context.

@Absolute_Kganki Lala xhego ugugile… as a “said” academic don’t just make statements without facts (academic research…” by the way this is my favorite president

@Absolute_Kganki We are not interested in their ANC factionalism games. They are one thing and they all kept worsening. 2008 he was still president when frustrations of illegal immigration made people go to the streets

@Absolute_Kganki He’s right but why doesn’t he call out illegal immigrates. He only call out his successors

@Absolute_Kganki This Madala needs to rest politics left him ages ago I don't want to listen to his dementia speak.

@Absolute_Kganki Someone is snoring

@Absolute_Kganki This man belongs in a casket.

@Absolute_Kganki @gndzongana No Mkhulu Mbeki! You opened the floodgates and they were not as many!

@Absolute_Kganki @BRADIBS1 I suspect there is something wrong with Mbeki's brains,he is no longer normal and he must not be listened to

@Absolute_Kganki Udakiwe lo

@Absolute_Kganki He’s the one who went all over Timbuktu inviting these people! He was never here.. bambhukuqa due to being MIA. He contributed to this mess!

@Absolute_Kganki Your quotation is incorrect though.

@Absolute_Kganki They're blaming each other now

@Absolute_Kganki Mbeki and Umntwana Wakwa Phindangene are probably the 2 leaders I know who spent their entire old age days sanitizing their legacy in SA government😂. Mbeki is even worse, cause he doesn't recognize that the downfall of SA was actually manufactured under his Presidency 🤦🏽‍♂️

@Absolute_Kganki Not only crime and unemployment are the issues we concerned about when it comes to illegal immigrants They are a lot of issues including the straining of our basic services So this greedy black capitalist called mbeki is too educated to understand the problems of poor people

@Absolute_Kganki It's high time that some stop giving this man airtime. He's always speaking senseless things
