Automatic succession undemocratic- Ntuane

Ntuane was contributing to a debate on the Ministry of Presidential Affairs and Public Administration's chapter in the National Development Plan 10 (NDP 10) in Parliament this week.

"Back in 1997, I was one of those people who were convinced that automatic succession was the best recipe for leadership transition," he said. "But subsequent to that, and ever since I came to this House and listened to the public out there, be it various politicians even within my own party, in the opposition or the press and so on, I think we must accept that we have come to a stage where perhaps we need to review automatic succession."
