Madiba's legacy is being misrepresented: Seth Mazibuko - SABC News - Breaking news, special reports, world, business, sport coverage of all South African current events. Africa's news leader.

Former Robben Island prisoner, Seth Mazibuko, says there is little to celebrate today as the world marks the 30th anniversary of former PresidentSpeaking to SABC News, Mazibuko says when Mandela was released from prison there was an atmosphere of joy that has since been debilitated due to high levels of poverty.

The former Robben Islander says increasing poverty levels in the country are a dent in Mandela’s legacy. He slammed politicians for failing to follow Madiba’s principles, instead of putting themselves first. “That same Cyril cannot be able to give people land so that they have homes… do I have something to celebrate on this day?… No.”

True.

Record Debt, Record Murders, Rampant Corruption, Record Unemployment, Collapsed Infrastructure, Broken SOE's. This was not Mandela's vision.

I agree and disagree with him. It is truly a little we celebrate today but the little we had 30 years ago managed to last us till this very day. Remember they said we will fail and tremble when we are in power but we managed to last for 26 in it

Mazibuko went hard on Matamela can we get that video
