PETER BRUCE | Has Mbeki finally unwrapped the plot that torments him? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
South Africans accustomed to former president Thabo Mbeki blaming all of the country’s woes on an unidentified “some among us” or a nebulous “counter-revolution” will have heard with no small degree of dread that he has just published an essay on Afrikaners lobbying the US for support against ANC policies of redress. Mbeki can go on a bit. His essay, published by his foundation on Monday, runs to 123 pages, and people who have already reported on it seem to have given up reading before getting t

The other key to political success is pure luck, which is how President Cyril Ramaphosa
PETER BRUCE | Chikane’s ANC comeback turns into political farce (opens the original)

Back in the day he was somebody — general secretary of the South African Council of Churches; a principal speaker at the launch of the United Democratic Front; the target of an assassination attempt when apartheid security personnel poisoned his underwear; director-general in the presidency when Thabo Mbeki ran the country. Chikane was big. Former police minister Adriaan Vlok, identified as one of the underwear poisoners, later made a grovelling apolog
PETER BRUCE | Could small wins unite South Africa’s divided society? (opens the original)
