Former President Thabo Mbeki has criticised the recently endorsed Electoral Amendment Bill.

“And I bet, if you convened the National Executive Committee tomorrow and said, is this what you voted for? They will say no. Have you seen it? They will say no, its the first time I hear about it. They don’t know. You are the governing party. You cannot change the electoral law of this country, unless is a decision of the movement.”

The National Assembly on Thursday voted by 232 votes to 98 to pass the bill that will allow individuals to stand for elected office as independents, but has been lamented by observers as a missed opportunity for thorough reform to enhance political accountability. “The Rivonia circle has been involved together with other civil society groups together with other society groups in making further submissions to this bill and opposing it in its current form. We believe that in its current form it is unconstitutional and to let it stand unchallenged would be wrong, but I think it’s important for the listens to understand that the National Council of Provinces must still do its work properly.
