Former president
Thabo Mbeki has slammed as reactionary suggestions by some parties, as well as from within the African National Congress (ANC), that national, provincial and local government elections be held on the same date.
Such a synchronised election would disregard the importance of the local government sphere, as provided for in the Constitution, and would undermine South Africa s constitutional democracy as a whole, Mbeki said in his May newsletter published by the Thabo Mbeki Foundation.
