Former President of
South Africa, Thabo Mbeki, spent two hours interacting with an audience
comprising Unisa students (many of whom are enrolled for the Thabo Mbeki African
Leadership Institute programmes), staff and members of the public in an intense
question-and-answer session at Unisa on 13 February 2015.
More than 300 people were present and eager to engage with Mbeki
on various African issues. Some key questions zoomed in on the Boko Haram
insurgency in Nigeria, illicit capital flows from Africa, and development and
democracy, including the tough and difficult choices African leaders have to
make when pursuing development in light of little financial capacity. Other questions
focused on the reconciliation (and transformation) project in South Africa,
xenophobia, and the 2015 State of the Nation Address, particularly the
attendant incidents in Parliament.
