Mbeki was speaking at struggle stalwart Aziz Pahad's memorial service on Thursday, where he outlined some of the problems the country faces, such as unemployment.
Mbeki said the ANC did not betray citizens but has to explain what has been happening in the country, including the party's decline.
The ANC has been in power for nearly 30 years and it seems it has not found a formula for a better life for all as it has not adequately tackled poverty, unemployment, crime, growing the economy and service delivery, among the many crises citizens face.
The former president has on many occasions criticised his party's failures.
