Former South African President Thabo Mbeki yesterday delivered a striking reflection on African leadership while speaking at an event commemorating NEPAD, using a historical anecdote from Zambia that carries strong parallels with the growing controversy around Zimbabwe’s Constitutional Amendment Bill No. 3 (CAB 3). Mbeki recalled how former Zambian President Frederick Chiluba once attempted to extend his stay in power by seeking a third presidential term in violation of Zambia’s constitutional framework. According to Mbeki, leaders within the Southern African Development Community (SADC) quietly intervened to stop the move in defence of constitutionalism and democratic order. He said regional leaders at the time looked among themselves for someone with the moral authority and political credibility to confront Chiluba directly. They settled on former Botswana President Festus Mogae, whom Mbeki described as clean and respected. Mogae was then tasked with delivering a firm message to Chiluba that the region would not tolerate the undermining of constitutional term limits. Mbeki used the story to argue that Africa’s leadership standards have sharply declined, saying the continent has regressed and no longer demonstrates the same collective political courage that once existed within the region. His remarks inevitably draw parallels with developments in Zimbabwe, where critics argue that CAB 3 seeks to fundamentally reshape the country’s democratic framework while creating pathways for President Emmerson Mnangagwa to extend his political influence and remain in power beyond existing constitutional limits. Indirectly, Mbeki’s remarks amount to a devastating commentary on the current state of leadership in Southern Africa. The former South African leader was effectively suggesting that today there is no respected regional statesman willing, or able, to stand up and stop what is unfolding in Zimbabwe. The regression Mbeki spoke about is now visible in real time, where regional leaders increasingly watch constitutional manipulation unfold in silence, avoiding confrontation while democratic institutions are weakened before their eyes.

THE BOOK THAT GOT NKRUMAH DEPOSED? Today marks 59 years since pan-African icon and Ghana's founding leader Kwame Nkrumah was removed from office in a military coup engineered by the CIA. After leading Ghana to independence from British colonial rule in 1957, Nkrumah embarked on a mission to unite the African people on the continent and in the diaspora. It was his firm belief that Africans share not only a common history, but a common destiny. He was one of the founding leaders of the African Union's predecessor, the Organization of African Unity, in 1963. In a key speech at the opening summit, he eloquently made the case for African unity. He explained that true independence and prosperity could only be attained if African nations united on both the economic and political front. He said this was the only way they could defeat the menace posed by the neo-colonial system, which was hell-bent on maintaining its control over the continent, even as most countries attained 'flag independence.' To the CIA, revolutionary pan-African leaders like Nkrumah were a danger that needed to be 'neutralised.' Their words were seen as threats by the US establishment. It is perhaps telling that it was only after Nkrumah's overthrow that the IMF engaged in debt restructuring with Ghana. In this clip, Nkrumah's editorial assistant, June Milne, relates how his book - Neo-Colonialism, The Last Stage of Imperialism - was the last straw for the US. In it, he detailed how Western countries were looting Africa's resources. Milne claims the book spurred Washington into sponsoring the coup that removed him.

[AGOA] ON U.S. and SOUTH AFRICA BILATERAL RELATIONSHIP What Redi Tlhabi, Chris Maroleng, and Anthony Carroll had to tell the U.S. Congress About South Africa Redi Tlhabi: “There are a lot of politicians who say stupid things. there is a minister, who recently said something about the CIA funding non profit organizations. That’s a lot of nonsense and it gets called out in South Africa.” “It is true that South Africa benefits richly from its relationship with the United States, far more than it does from its relationship with Russia. South Africa also has far more in common with the United States and shares common values and norms - an independent judiciary, checks and balances, a free press and a robust civil society that pushes back against state excesses. There is much to value and salvage from this relationship. However, African states don't want to seem weak. They do not want to be seen to be doing the bidding of the United States. Their peers and constituencies may punish them for that.” Full 📃 Bio: Chris Maroleng: “The US and Africa as a whole can forge a relationship that is mutually beneficial and supports the development goals of both parties. May we be so bold as to suggest that our organisation is the perfect intermediary for such interventions, given the antipathy displayed by members of the governing party to certain messages?” Full 📃: Bio: Anthony Carroll: “And SA has a robust civil society that forced President Thabo Mbeki to abandon his disastrous policies on HIV/AIDS and took to the streets to protest the excesses of "State Capture" during the destructive presidency of Jacob Zuma. Recently, a public ombudsman was removed by Parliament on suspicion of corruption and overreach. Yet, while clearly not a failed state, by many measures, South Africa is a failing one.” Full 📃: Bio: — FULL 🖇️

'U.S. EMPIRE IN DECLINE, CHOOSE AFRICA' We hear very often that only two options are on the table for Black voters in the United States: Kamala Harris or Donald Trump. But could other choices be available? In this exclusive interview with African Stream, Onyesonwu Chatoyer, a member of All-African People's Revolutionary Party (AAPRP)international (All-African People's Revolutionary Party (AAPRP) on X) and Hood Communist☭🇿🇦, raises the possibility of organising for collective worldwide African liberation as a viable option beyond voting for Democratic or Republican candidates that ultimately work against the interests of the entire African diaspora, with drone strikes, police violence and Congolese child slavery being a few examples. What Chatoyer lays out is in the tradition of many revolutionary Pan-Africanists, such as Malcolm X (1925-65) and Kwame Ture (1941-98), who worked tirelessly to organise African communities in the United States. Pan-Africanists advocate for a strong, unified African continent to protect Africans worldwide. 'I'm not a Democrat. I'm not a Republican. And, I don't even consider myself an American,' said Malcolm X in his famous 'The Ballot or the Bullet' (3 April 1964) speech. At another moment, he said, 'Our hope is in a strong Africa. When Africa is strong, our position in America will be one of respect.' A unified Pan-African state could issue sanctions or cut off trade with any country that harms the African diaspora. Malcolm X once explained this using the example of China, which the United States has made an enemy, allowing Sinophobic racism to rise in the US. However, US police forces would not be able to get away with massacring Chinese people because China could retaliate. What do you think of Chatoyer's position? Let us know in the comments below.

🎯M23 will be taught in South African military schools! Why? It was the first time since World War II that South African troops were captured by enemy forces. It was also the first time they were captured by a non-state armed group. South Africa has been in the DRC longer than the US was in Afghanistan. This expert notes that the South African government may have concluded there was nothing more it could do in the DRC, especially after the January 2025 rout. That is true. Sadly, while South Africans are reflecting on the condition of their army, which is a legitimate concern, they have refused to reflect on the purpose of their mission in the DRC. Nelson Mandela and Thabo Mbeki would never have backed a regime bent on exterminating part of its population. They would never have supported a government that recruits the FDLR, a group formed by the remnants of genocidal forces. Never. The same is true for Nyerere. There was a time when South Africa (and Tanzania) offered the world a moral compass. That South Africa no longer exists. It has been replaced by corrupt, populist politicians who have forgotten their own liberation struggle and chosen instead to embrace an apartheid-like, genocidal regime in Kinshasa. I am talking to you too Julius Sello Malema ! The moral decay came first. The military defeat merely followed. As South Africa reflects, it should reflect on that too.
