The ANC Secretary-General Gwede Mantashe has spoken out against the Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe's comments on the late president Nelson Mandela's legacy. Mugabe said Mandela cherished his personal freedom over the economic freedom of his people, which was the reason "everything is in the whites' hands" in South Africa today.
