Johannesburg – Former deputy president Kgalema Motlanthe has rubbished claims that he is interested in taking over from President Jacob Zuma.
"Personally I am not keen to stand again as president. I think it is a bad idea to recycle leaders," Motlanthe said.
In an interview with Power FM, Motlanthe said he believed he would make a better contribution providing political education.
"They mustn't even think about it, it's a bad idea."
