Johannesburg - President Jacob Zuma was not the only person to blame for the current state of affairs in South Africa as the ruling African National Congress' national executive committee (NEC) elected in 2012 "does what it is told", former finance minister Trevor Manuel said.
"I wish that I could attribute all of this destruction to the person of the president, but he doesn't act alone. And in fact, mainly gets others to act on his behalf," Manuel said, speaking at the Eric Molobi Memorial Lecture at the University of Johannesburg on Thursday night.
Discussing leadership, ethics, and change, Manuel predicted that the ANC's December elective conference could collapse during the credential stage, citing the possible manipulation of ANC branch numbers.
Manuel highlighted the increase in membership leading up to the 2012 elective conference in Mangaung and how in 2015 it declined again.
