Frank Chikane served in the South African presidential office
from the time of Nelson Mandela to Jacob Zuma - so he was privy
to what went on behind the scenes.

Now he has written a book in which he describes for the first
time his account of Thabo Mbeki's removal as South Africa's
president.

He says it was a painful and humiliating episode for Mr Mbeki and
it exposed the deep rivalry at the heart of the ruling African
National Congress which continues to divide it today.

Zeinab Badawi asks if the ANC become so riven with factionalism
and corruption that it can no longer govern effectively.
