Why has Mbeki lashed out at Ramaphosa?

The previous president warns that South Africa is heading for its personal Arab Spring.

It was an unprecedented outspoken assault on his personal occasion and its chief.

Thabo Mbeki warned that sooner or later South Africa goes to “explode”.

Citing excessive ranges of poverty and joblessness, Mbeki – who succeeded Nelson Mandela as democratic South Africa’s second president in 1999 – says South Africa is heading for its personal Arab Spring.

He has blamed President Cyril Ramaphosa and the governing African Nationwide Congress for failing to handle the legacy of apartheid.

However what has prompted his remarks, and why now?
