In Conversation with Goodenough Mashego , Independent political Analyst.

Thabo Mbeki thinks South Africans should rethink how we elect our president. Currently, voters elect parliamentarians via the parties they vote for. The party with the most seats select a president, typically its leader. Our former president spoke on Saturday at a National Dialogue event in Gqeberha. He noted parliamentary process never addresses whether a candidate is competent at all. Electoral reform would take time, we need a partly vetting process, at least.
