Has South Africa’s ruling party betrayed Mandela’s legacy? | Head to Head

- In this episode of Head to Head, Mehdi Hasan challenges African National Congress (ANC) stalwart Baleka Mbete on whether, in the 25 years since apartheid, her party has betrayed Nelson Mandela's legacy and the dreams of South Africa's rainbow nation.
Over the past quarter century, access to education has significantly improved and the rights of all South Africans to free basic healthcare has been guaranteed.
But the ANC's successes have been overshadowed by rising youth unemployment, recent xenophobic attacks on African immigrants and ongoing allegations of systemic corruption, with former President Jacob Zuma currently facing trial.
From fighting apartheid, Mbete rose to become one of South Africa's most powerful women, serving as deputy president, speaker of the National Assembly, and chair of the ANC.
We ask whether the ANC, and Mbete personally, have done enough to hold Zuma to account, and keep Mandela's dream of a united Africa alive.
Hasan and Mbete are joined by a panel of three experts:
- Makhosi Khoza - former South African politician who resigned from the ANC in 2017, after calling for President Zuma to step down
- Xolani Xala - founder of South African Business Abroad and member of the ANC
- Andrew Feinstein - former South African politician and author of 'After the Party: A Personal Journey Inside the ANC'. He is now director of Corruption Watch UK
Has South Africa's ruling party betrayed Mandela's legacy? With Baleka Mbete, first broadcast on October 18, 2019, at 20:00 GMT with repeats on October 19 at 12:00GMT, October 20 at 01:00 GMT, and October 21 at 06:00 GMT.

All South Africans need to thank this woman for physically showing us how bad the ANC actually is . With her answers she proved how bad the ANC really is .
This is why all of the currupt officials are being run out of office. SA will never stop voting for the ANC they just need to get rid of all currupt parties.
@RepublicanGuard Retarded masses? So, I guess you are the enlightened and chosen one who stands above everyone else?
No they will vote for the eff
@@dissdad8744 no but at least he sees how much incompetent the ANC is
@@cyberanon2463 BEE for example goes against the ANC's Freedom Charter.This appears to have been done out of jelousy and lack of forethought.
Africa is doomed with people like these as our leaders.
so sad...
They are not leaderd they are looters and incompetent. They dont possess leadership ability at non of them
Africa is doomed cause they still wait for leaders instead of raising them
@@video83046 nailed it brother you absolutely nailed it
@@video83046 a very true statement you have to look at perspective. How can you raise a leader when everyone is consumed by thinking where the next meal.comes from. African leaders purposefully dumb down and starve their people so thAt they the citizens see whatever basic thing the government does as out of this world hence they keep their power. Look at south Africa, Zimbabwe. The political parties basically thugs and work hard to keep much of the electorate ignorant. So it's easy to blame anyone except themselves. South Africa it's migrants Zimbabwe it's sanctions. So how in a environment like thAt are leaders moulded. It's possible but it's a very daunting task
As a South African...This was embarrassing.
You shouldnt be embrassed, leaders aren't put in power based on leadership skills it's based on popularity.
The South African politicians are embarrassing.
And the majority who are voting for them are embarrassing.
But they are fooled by years of false propaganda.
@@plofkraak6536 hold up wait a minute they are South Africans that truly believe they can't change the way the government works from a party that isn't in power you change the negatives from within..
Remember when the Apartheid government abused South Africans for more then 150 years this government has done more for the black people then the Apartheid governments could ever
@@plofkraak6536 indeed...cognitive dissonance
@Muslim Always come to Inanda, they were no schools hospitals, they are currently building hospitals something we would have never got from the minority. This government is by far better then any minority government talk is cheap when the minority had the right to do as they please for more then 150years we are far from those days we not perfect but I'm glad we here
I'm in awe of this woman's ability to unflinchingly deflect and deny anything hurled her way... it truly is a form of art.
Lies without remorse
I am appalled, but being Nigerian, I am only also Furious, its the story of my life, bad leaders lying to good citizens until the citizens give up and become bad too.
In 2 and a half decades all she learnt was "we are seized"
In the world of good governance, she would have been sacked in a day
@@juliusv.cnwachukwu6076 is there more panel videos like this because this one is indeed interesting/comedy. This lady can’t hide her dishonesty and corruption. ANC needs to be removed from power including those corrupt incompetent officials
It's sheer stupidity - the medical or psychological term is called 'Dunning-Kruger syndrome'!
This was shameful. Just shocking.
She is not used to being interviewed by proper non-sensationalist journalists.
lmao
True.
M. Hasan is Earthquake for Politicians 💨
I hereby resign as a South African with immediate effect 😂😂😂🤦♂️
😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂what will you be?dont run away from problems like her deal with the ANC!
😂😂😂😂😂👏👏👏
😂😂
Bruh. Same😂
Who, from SA, is here in 2020 watching this a second time? I am , and im still not shocked as this is our reality
I am, unfortunately. This interview happened in a "better" time before the ravages brought on by the lockdown here in SA, where we still find ourselves at level 3. Things were less than 'peachy' at the time of this interview and clearly, we are a country that would not fare well amidst a global 'pandemic'. Now, after the economic suicide of the lockdown, orchestrated and led by the ANC Government mind you, the country's decline has been accelerated with unemployment spiraling out of control.
Does anyone believe the ANC Gov can do anything to assist our country in any way to bounce back? What we have seen is looting and stealing of funds meant for Covid Aid; the loans and bail-outs they have and will still receive is like handing piles of sweets to unsupervised kids and telling them not to eat any! Once again the ANC members and their cadres prosper, from this 'crisis' while their people starve, more than ever!
The writing is on the wall, the country is lost, hope is lost by most, everyone can see now what is happening, just empty promises. Talk is cheap and the ANC does not have the ability to take action - we need a miracle!
🙋♀️🙋♀️ lol I'm with you. The ANC is so gross. We already have a covid-19 commission 🙄😑
I'm also watching this again 😖apart from a litany of issues there are two major problems that stand out to me as a citizen of sa, number one is the utter incompetence of our so called leaders and the other is a total lack of accountability, both of these can be clearly seen in this video

It wasnt good was it laurian. And seeing something like this must put off those who may of considered investing in south africa . One things for sure the future of our south Africa looks bleak .
@FranciscoMendez why leave the country when we could all stand up and fight the ANC, take the country back from those criminals! We can only do it together
As a fellow South African, there is a lot of work that needs to be done...and we shall follow through as a nation.
The only mistake is Our leaders are Afraid of the West. Whiles we were supposed to make them Fear us the most.
If you people would have never invaded a country you wouldn't have to deal with it you European reject
This is the most embarrassing interview I have ever seen. Baleka Mbete was exposed and this interviewer was on the ball, he had his facts .
Medhi Hassan is the toughest interviewer out there, he's a nightmare for politicians.
This interviewer is an solid anchor. Even our the anchors at the SABC has as much balls as this guy has. A shoutout to this guy. He has the most balls that I have ever seen.
What an embarrassment
and thats why the country is in such a mess,, hardly any anc cadres have a higher education than st 5
Lol my fellow South Africans, why do y'all seem confused? We all know what they are like....only 7 months of 2020 in and they have already looted the 500bn covid-19 relief fund they borrowed from IMF🤣🤣🤣🤣
Duchess_ FuFu 🤣🤣🤣 i just want to leave mybru
Not surprised
Same script different cast in Kenya....
Sigh
Did it come from the IMF though? Usually the IMF has strict controls over the spending of loan money. Wasn't it from China, which usually has a lot more sinister strings?

This is just too embarrassing to watch this as a South African 😥
Watch nicely
Ei mft Yaz
Macimeza, history will show that so many talented, mostly black SA expats have left SA for better opportunities. Its sad that the ANC failed these expats as they were too busy feeding from the trough, focusing on their own narrow interests.
😥
You are not your government.
I am glad that the outside world is starting to speak out on South Africa. There are so many wrongs in this country. Zuma was only the tip of the iceberg.
I hate that thug you talking about
True.
So was your great grandfather

you are in a minority. the irony is that the majority actually are quite happy with the useless guavament.
@Porter Maxwell True that. The ANC voting fodder would give her 100% for this interview.
😂😂 I blame the world for painting ANC as Mandela and now everyone still keeps voting Mandela's party that is completely different now to what the man even tried to represent
@@karlbenz5636 no they are not happy they just support them out of loyalty. Like in Zim and other countries one day they will turn on these corrupt government.
@Porter Maxwell Bantu is a language family. Stop using Apartheid terminology..
As an Afghan I was always ashamed of our politicians. After watching this lady I should start praying for ours. I feel sorry for hundreds of thousands of innocent people died under their leadership. She doesn’t even feel apologetic or remorseful.
You have bigger issues there in Afghanistan and the Taliban party going on there
She’s rich she doesn’t have to feel anything
As an South African, gou are spot on. The denial and idiotically thinking in this government is thriving. You can be lucky, we have dumb people running our country😭😭
I agree it's a shame
We as south african don't recognise this woman, we don't know her, never saw her..
Any country can have her
It is not only her ignorance and failure to hold leaders accountable which is being exposed, but rather the entire ANC...for it is the entire ANC which supported Mbeki's AIDS denialism, Zuma's corruption, and the overall party's moral decay and failures.
Aho,monna You behave Like Thomas you dont know Baleka.Even if is an embarrasment she is one of us.

Greed ! Greed and Greed is our problem. Everybody is greedy in South Africa. Tax payers purse is a cash cow.
This woman has embarrassed South African in front of the whole world. I'm ashamed to call myself a South African right now. SMFH
That's on you if you base your national identity on people like her, she isnt South Africa she is only one person be proud to be South African and an African in general it's one thing no government or person can take away from us
This interview basically describes the role of the ANC in the past 26 years. Pathetic.
And corrupt
This would have been an award winning comedy show.
Funniest thing I've watched in ages.
Hahaha I know right
Yupe.. i hope trevor noah watch this.🤣🤣🤣
Sharif Mustafa yes it would! But if you call them out they deny !
Why did she even do this... all she did was embarrass this country
so could have declined and then prepared herself
She embarrassed herself.
Literally. Can't understand why she thought this was a good idea
Everybody has a price.
Are you honestly asking why she did this?
Understand that this might shed some light to many South Africans that the ANC is not able to take accountability for anything and thus South Africa needs to change, I agree that many more young South Africans need to speak on forums and discuss the issues. Sadly the government won't recognise anything that the youth has to say and hopefully in the next 25 years we can change that!
Kind regards

As a 19 year old South African, WE NEED MORE INTERVIEWS LIKE THIS. It's a step in the right direction - people are being held accountable! There is so little communication between our leaders and us as citizens that other countries have to keep our leaders in check... You can not only see the misunderstandings, but feel the rage between these people. We need a president to unify South Africa, because unity has been long gone in SA.
This form of interviews are required to every country leadership as it my cause change in Africa leading class.
No leaders in Government just self serving crooks sadly. People have to stop voting for the ANC who at best view public money as a personal ATM and are working with criminal gangs to destroy South Africa 😢
This does nothing because the people that vote the ANC in are the ones that will never watch this or cant watch is.
Yes that is true. Mandela was uniting South African. But this ANC is dividing people by means of corruption. As long as this present party government is in power nothing will come right in South Africa it will become worse and worse as long as the parasites are in power.
We need this type of journalism, oftentimes journalist are afraid to ask tough.

im embarrassed that you cant see through this. SOUTH AFRICA like all western society is built on 'suffering'. THE UN IS NOBODY and isnt there for Africa.
AT NO POINT IS EUROPE AND THEIR PEOPLE IS/was RELEVANT TO AFRICA; history backs me up for 350 million years.
the brought crime, suffering and bacteria /virus all over the planet. they should apologized for the common cold up to HIV
Dont even mention it. I just wna hide myself
She says,' Every loss is a lesson '. Well, The ANC has 26 years of lessons. South Africa is now a 'match and a hay-stack' right now, thanks to these psychopaths !!!
Your country has always been a match and a haystack because of apartheid. Stripping the natives of land and hording all the resources brings about that situation.
That Xolani guy will make a perfect ANC MP/minister one day. He's already arguing like them.
It doesn't make it right just because whites also do it.
He's defending baleka. He's singing for a position after this interview
😂😂😂He's already fight his salary..
He's already fighting for his salary.. 😅😅😅Thts how they fight for their stamach and their children in the ANC
The way he's trying to cover up and sugar coat things
"I was too busy with parliament" yet over 300 000 people died wow this women has no shame !
Something is wrong here
I was beezee toeing the ANC line becoz I wanted to be a SPEEKAH.
Should charge her for negligence
she is in the top six, they have ALL the power, they could have made a snap decision over any issue and implemented it.
Africa is doomed with this type of leader all over africa, they never took responsibility for anything🥵🥵
Yes you are right these kind of crooked politicians are in power right now in my beutiful country Ethiopia. That's why Africa will never change unless people start a movement
They didn't even talk about how the murder rate is higher now than apartheid times....
Lucky you said that and not me for obvious reasons.

@@tegistkebede2917 Nope people need to start thinking for themselves and get out of the brainwashing.
She is not ignorant. She knows everything that has been going on. She is just a 'good comrade' that justifies everything to safeguard the ANC. Very sad state of affairs in so many African countries where the liberation movements end up betraying the people who continue to support them blindly.

The host was thorough and professional, a foreign concept to the ANC and seemingly South Africa at large ( public & private sectors).
Interesting also to note how the past is the past when it comes to anc misdemeanors but the past is not the past when it is time to blame everyone else.. hypocrisy of note.
I was waiting for your comment. Absolutely true! They are quick to point the finger at the past to protect their complete failure at governance, but when someone else brings up their past failures they don't want to acknowledge or talk about it. The hypocrisy is astounding.
Simple truth
She was there,she was the shield of the looters and made sure that they don't get to account.She is shamelessly sitting there and playing dumb.
I wonder if she knows how dumb she is
And she gives colonialism the fault of everything with that ugly wig on her head. (also) colonialism.. F,, k she dumb.

That's the only reason why the ANC is still dominating. Parents brainwashing their young children of how without the ANC, Apartheid would still be here and would continue. We grew up with such fears... And sadly not a lot can think for themselves that it was simply a hoax, you shouldn't feel indebted to a party in a free democracy.

This woman! Deputy President and Speaker of the house. Yet she says there's nothing she could have done personally. Smfh.
Party over country dude. That's their motto. They hold their unity in almost a religious light. They would rather see the country go down the drain than risk the party being weakened even an iota. It's rule by committee. And every member of the committee has a private stake.

This is so embarrassing, Baleka got it wrong when decided to defy logic when the wasted years question was asked. She was then forced to defend corruption all the way. Mbethe exposed & proved useless in this interview.
To think she volunteered for this. Ignorance + Arrogance.
That's exactly how we know her - a protector of corruption. She shielded Zuma for years when she was Speaker of parliament. Had she done her job properly and impartially, we would have kicked Zuma out years ago - before he could steal as much as he did and before he could cause so much destruction. She was complicit and needs to answer for it.
Africa,my continent...i weep for you
She failed parliament of South Africa dismally protecting Zuma and the corruption of the ANC...i don't like her seriously
MCEBISI MBUSI I have never had any respect for her even when she was speaker of the house; she is a puppet who has learnt nothing in all this time.

It’s really shameful that we have leaders like this, the future of South Africa looks extremely bleak.. sadly..
Not sure there is a future....wait till we start printing money because the big fat leaders would jave stolen it all ...then we cause hyper inflation and get sanctioned by being the most unequal country in the world. Zim 2.0 is coming. It's just a matter of time
in a few months or no time people we definitely be kicking themselves regret for missing the opportunity to buy or invest in cryptocurrency.
@Juan Goza I will advise you to try expert James Lucas fx he trading strategies is really working for me.
Really! y'all know him? I even thought I'm the only one he had helped work the fears and falls of trading.
most people stay poor only because they got discouraged by friend's and relatives, who stopped them against investing and trading crypto currency while the wise ones kept on investing in cryptocurrency and growing higher financially.
he's good and guaranteed working, with him you get see forex trading from another angle.
when someone is straight forward and good at what he does people will always speak for them for me i would say expert Mr James Lucas for financial institutions he would make you happy.
I am from South Africa and this country is just becoming more corrupt
So what?
@@keepingupwithosinachi7078 Are you South African? if not this certainly won't affect you in anyway
Her kind of leader is non patriotic..they care more about themselves than the people. She was part of all this.
this is good for the world to see how stupid the ANC government is
I concur
But it is not good for the world to see how immature and derogatory some white South Africans still are. There are more refined ways to express your disappointment
@NEO MPHAHLELE Please e honest, the ANC are criminals who have stolen all the money, and don't know how to govern be honesty, about it unless, you benefit out of its mess rule.
They are an absolute embarrassment to the South African people, and have been for a very long time. It still puzzles me why our people keep voting for them
Bruce Gordon how dare you
I moved here from Ireland 10years ago and have watched this amazing country fall apart under the ANC. This lady is actually one of the best you will find here and that isn't really saying much is it !
Ah, but now you have an Indian queen mincing through Tara's halls.
Look on the bright side Damien, he's not a Gupta and the weather's better down there. Saiorse! ;-)
Then go back home njandini!!!
@@nhloniphogcinanishangase1015 another black African xenophobe you?
@@nhloniphogcinanishangase1015 Why, because he is telling the truth when people like you support the lies?
Im sorry that you had to see it, but it is on us now to try and improve
This is why Al Jazeera is the best news station on the planet...objective facts...
That a senior member of the ANC and South Africa leadership be of this caliber and hold such views only goes to explain the current mess of their current affairs.
We in Africa always envied South Africa for their developed economy and after the sacking of apartheid, were proud that our fellow brethren finally got the freedom that they deserved.
However what I see now is a broken country, with a corrupt system and corrupt individuals sucking its blood dry.
I hope the people of South Africa rise again and fight for justice as they’ve done in the past.
Never going to happen brother. Don't you see when the most corrupt Zuma goes to court he's got supporters.
these freedom fighters don't make good government, they're unqualified, incompetent & corrupt. You need qualified, smart people to run a country - race shouldn't matter
lm bester Agree.
The way she argues her point, you’d think she is talking about some family affair, not a running a nation.
The mentality of governing a diverse country such as SA with its tumultuous history needs to fall on the shoulders of the new generation with critical capabilities of management and with clear mechanism for accountability.
@@faizeladam1404 The same in many countries in Africa. For example a jailed former governor in Nigeria returned from a UK prison to a tumultuous welcome. We have too many stupid and "blinded" Africans.
@@ace11235 its sad man. SA had a great opportunity to be an example to the world. It was squandered by selfish & incompetent people
I can't believe she was once suggested for position of president, what an embarrassment 😔😔😔😔
Trevor Noah will have a hard time competing with this.....
😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
LOL
DEFFINATELY!!! What a mess they've made of a beautiful country!! SHAME!!
This was an embarrassment!
Disappointed but not surprised.
This lady is a true reflection of the ANC, no accountability
As clueless as she is corrupt
and no responsibility
yet south africans still vote for them.
@Thank god for whites thats the reason why we should vote. not voting only makes things worse, we can vote for anything but the anc, the opposition grows stronger and the anc is dethroned. we are a democracy, not a socialist state. just vote for anything but the anc. simple. you abstaining from voting isnt gonna help anyhing but the anc.
@Thank god for whites there is not need to call people by derogatory names. what u must do is do your part, your family must do their part, and your friends too. support sa and vote. if the anc's numbers shake, they will have to wake up. if you watched the polls his year, the anc is losing that 50 percent majority, some parts, dipping below 50. leave the people with mealie meal alone, just do your part.
I'm glad people can see (THE WORLD )the leaders we have in our so called rainbow nation
Still it's not Indian country.
You mean that the world can see who people religiously vote for? They read about it in the news and they watch the shenanigans in our so called parliament already and feel sorry for us.
Mandela's legacy was never betrayed. He was just as corrupt as his successors. His family has gotten very wealthy from that. The difference is that the international media doesn't fawn over Zuma or Ramaphosa as they did with the former.
Exactly, he started the rot while the true revolutionaries were sidelined from 1994
Mehdi Hassan is a brilliant journalist. No one can lie to him because he stalks his “prey” beforehand and knows ALL the facts. Inspiring.
But he doesn't given participants to sufficiently defined their points and is consistently interfering.
@Horror Genes other than that him and his team did well in gathering facts.
@@kgosimocwagae8700He does that when he sees his question is being dodged or ignored. I actually appreciate his interruptions lol. Saves us time spent hearing non-answers and keeps his guests from 'running out the clock'.
If only we could recycle the ANC's excuses. We'll never have load shedding again.
Oohh this woman she's such an embarrassment🤦♂️🤦♂️
I'm speechless what a joke!
Wow, this is scary watching this for the first time and living in South Africa. This country is DOOMED!
They should have invited the man himself, Jacob zuma
No - we don't want Zuma to leave SA - he might run away to Dubai before we can deal with him.
Lol!!!! That would be classic
No Zuma must not be seen close to airport please!
All he will do is cough and laugh
@@patrickswanepoel7706lol he doesn't cough when speaking in isizulu
Just one word: Sad!
I don't think anyone knows how the ANC works
@@thandomntungwa6697 In the same way the mafia works?
I am ashamed to call myself South African because of people like that and the ANC
Go and get a cirizenship from other countries and c how it works fool
@@keepingupwithosinachi7078 , you are a real dumb idiot if you think and agree with what has been said.
Mximm, go to Zimbabwe then.
Him: "You disagreed silencly in private?"
Her: "Yes"
Easiest interrogation this interviewer ever had.
IQ is definitely a problem here
Andre Tait how so?coz she doesnt twang?i mean u expect her to jst throw her ppl under the bus because she is on a world stage?kinda unpatriotic dnt u think?she is representing South Africans actually ..nt just the ANC...
@@lindelanintuli6028 no, her responses are idiotic and a shame to all south africans. Perhaps if she threw some people under the bus earlier, many lives could have been saved. Listen to the words, not how she says them. She painted south Africans very badly, and this is why the idea that we are stupid remains.
@@lindelanintuli6028 Was this the best choice of representative? I personally don't think so, she lacks tact and is an embarrassment to Africa as a whole, it speaks volumes of the standard of education here, these are valid questions that need to be answered, unlike the mickey mouse parliamentary debates she's used to "point of order, honorable member!"
@@lindelanintuli6028 Looking at the way you express yourself, I gather that your IQ is similarly impaired. Learn to write.
Average IQ in SA is 77.
The most painful thing I've ever watched... This embarrasses me to the core as a South African. It does however show the level of competence the ANC government has in the top spheres of its leadership. Constant blame shifting, taking no responsibility for any crises and a driving force behind racism (BEE) and inequality. Colonialism will be blamed for everything until the end of time...
YEP, all while they just love using all the BENEFITS of colonialism. Without it, this woman would still be dressed in animal skins.
Don’t get me started on the inept cANCer!
It is more sinister than what you think. All that you know and hear is a tip of an Ice Berg. You have no idea of what we hear in workspaces, gym change rooms, etc. Black Africa with this kind of thinking won't get out of this mess. Hopeless.
One thing about africans, they never accept blame. They don't say, "I missed the bus." They say, "the bus left me."
Christian Van Zyl true to form the cANCer needs treatment of another kind. Total eradication!!
South African Proverb: Connections speak louder than qualifications...
Daniel Schön Connections especially with ANC membership
South Afrikan leadership must be ashamed that such platforms never get to be broadcasted to those that vote for them
Things are going to get a lot worse before they get worse.
I love that, worse before the get worse, true.
Only problem with that is that most of us will be dead by then...
Yes, that is the worst part )
Now that was an embarrassing interview. Mendi came prepared and it’s like Mme Baleka was only interested in going to the UK for shopping/holiday. It’s like showing up unprepared for an important exam
I don't understand why she would agree to the interview, like what good can come from it for her?
@@riyaadhm2808 Narcissistic supply?
You can almost see the unabashed arrogance this woman exhudes.
Ezra Nwosu that’s what all the current politicians in SA exude. They know there is no accountability for their actions
26 years later and still blaming others..........ANC is useless
