African champions. World Cup confidence. Sundowns’ CAF final could shape more than club history. Beyond Game Day connects the dots between continental success, Bafana Bafana belief and the players who may carry South Africa into the next big football moment. #eNCA

Former South African president Thabo Mbeki made some serious mistakes during his presidency, and the two glaring ones were HIV and AIDS policy and Zimbabwe. I would also add his failure to properly groom or allow a successor before the 2007 Polokwane conference.

But every time I listen to South African leaders speak, he still stands above all the presidents South Africa has had after Nelson Mandela. Mandela was in a league of his own and served a unique historical purpose during a particular era, so I do not even place him in this comparison.

But when you compare Thabo Mbeki, Jacob Zuma and Cyril Ramaphosa, I genuinely enjoy listening to Mbeki because his arguments are backed by facts, empirical evidence, research, economic analysis, scholars and international journals. Whether one agrees with him or not, he constructs arguments intellectually.

Listening to this discussion in the video reminded me again that he was a great leader who nevertheless had major flaws, and unfortunately those flaws often overshadow many of the positive things he achieved for the South African economy.

I mentioned HIV and AIDS. I mentioned Zimbabwe. I mentioned the failure to groom a successor. I also think one of his major mistakes was the refusal to invest adequately in Eskom at the time when warnings were already being raised about future electricity generation problems.

But when you then look at the presidencies of Jacob Zuma and Cyril Ramaphosa, it becomes a completely different picture.

Mbeki’s approach to Zimbabwe was ideological. Zuma, for all his own problems, is probably the only South African president who can genuinely say he at least attempted to engage Zimbabwe politically in a meaningful way. But Ramaphosa’s relationship with Zimbabwe appears deeply compromised by business and political interests, at worst corrupt.

And when you assess the three presidencies rationally, especially from an economic management perspective, the figures speak for themselves. South Africa’s economic growth reached around 5% to 6% during parts of the Mbeki era, levels the country has struggled to reach since.

The problem today is that many people analyse these leaders emotionally instead of rationally. Economic performance is measured through figures, and those figures are publicly available.

So every time I listen to Thabo Mbeki speak, I enjoy listening to him because of the depth, structure and intellectual discipline of the way he makes his arguments.

This is the most sober analysis by Dr Ndlozi of the xenophobic group called March and March.

They leave spaza shops in KZN townships and march in Butterworth?

Gods of Mamelodi Sundowns came through when Stellies applied "smash and grab". But the 1-1 draw is good news for Orlando Pirates. This season is the best, we haven't seen this in years. #BetwayPrem
