YONELA DIKO: Jacob Zuma was a tragedy. Ace Magashule is a farce OPINION It is now well understood, that whatever shortcomings former President Thabo Mbeki had, both in character and in leadership style, Jacob Zuma was not the answer. The shock of Zuma s devastating presidency has made us appreciate just how good we had it under Mbeki, despite the avalanche of criticism on his presidency, sometimes deserved, but mostly crass and desperate (for example, that he is an aloof intellectual, as if that is a punishable offence). Mbeki gave care to his speeches, understanding how critical words are to manage a country s mood and disposition to his vision of the country (eloquently captured in his 1994 reflections). He demonstrated an ability to build institutions from the ground up while generating and keeping our own resources, holding each other accountable and solving our own problems.
