Zuma steering ANC in wrong direction: De Klerk
Updated | By Slindelo Masikane
Former president FW de Klerk believes President Jacob Zuma is steering the ANC in the wrong direction.
De Klerk on Friday launched his foundation's Centre for Unity in Diversity.
De Klerk accused the ANC of not adhering to the principles of the Constitution.
FW de Klerk says 22 years into democracy the vision of tolerance and the emphasis on reconciliation in the Constitution has come under pressure.
The former president believes government will tighten race-based policies, such as BEE, making it more difficult for white South Africans to gain employment.
According to de Klerk, the ANC is sliding backwards under the leadership of President Zuma.
"I think that, under his leadership, the ANC government has taken a wrong direction. I think we are not governed well. I think the fight against corruption is not an effective fight. Corruption is taking place hand-over-hand and is still growing, even. I think cadre deployment has hurt our economy and effective service delivery. I'm highly critical of President Zuma's regime and the lack of good governance we are experiencing at their hands."
