The former president was speaking at the Strategic Dialogue Group when he touched on the challenges facing the ANC, such as corrupt leaders who are clueless about policies approved by Parliament.

"When you talk renewal of the ANC, you're carrying too much baggage of wrong people. You have to have the courage to face that you have a renewed ANC led by criminals."

According to Eyewitness News, the first Zondo Commision report revealed that during the state capture, the South African Revenue Services was deliberately destroyed by members of the party. Mbeki wondered about the kind of leaders that would be chosen at the ANC's December conference.
