Mbeki is known as a practical man and is under no illusions about the task ahead. You hear people saying, we want to live as the whites do electricity, running water . That s their vision. The burden of these expectations hangs heavy. On the campaign trial in Natal, Mbeki gets a heroes welcome, it s all smiles and cheers. Like the ANC faithful everywhere, they ve transferred their loyalty from Mandela to Mbeki like flicking a switch. There s a sense that Mbeki is a new dawn. While Mandela represented the end of apartheid, Mbeki will be the deliverer from poverty. Such elevation to a a little God as Mbeki puts it, is anti-democratic. You want to produce the opposite reaction to be able to engage the people. Mbeki has this sober eye on the challenges facing South Africa. Crime and the economic discrimination of apartheid are to be met head-on. Failure to do so would see the demise of the ANC and him.

Ahhhh, those were the days. You could leave the rest of the country's worries in the hands of the government and focus on doing your part. Gone are those days.
Seeing this in 2024 is just depressing. There was so much hope 😢
He is the most finest leader ever produced by South Africa and Africa, I'm saying this because he was pivotal in making sure that there are no wars in the entire continent and after he left the office the regime change started and had limited influence to stop those conflicts that seriously started in 2010 starting in Cote D'Ivoire and many countries that destabilized the continent and a lot of regime change, some through democratically means , he is someone who understands the political complexities of the world, he is a master of political analysis. DRC had a functioning state since 1960s
When ANC was ANC 🇿🇦
When ANC was HOPE for the future...not the ANC of today ...stealing from the poor....A nation hopes shuttered
Best leader South Africa ever had.
Thabo is the best, I like him so much, He is himself doesn't like to imitate mandela....
If I had a choice this man would have governed SA for 25years at least for his vision to really take root

If I had a choice Mandela would serve until 2004, followed by Lekota, than either Malema or Maimane. No Mbeki or Zuma. COPE and EFF would never form. More political stability for South Africa. Perhaps less presence of "Freedom" Front Plus.

Wow to breathe free air in the country your origin for the first time? You no longer have to be under that ugly burden placed on the inhabitants buy a few misinformed I can't imagine what that feels like to breathe free air without the burden of apologizing for being born with melanin in your skin in you own country on your own continent that has to be a hell of a Feeling I'm so proud of you South Africa I'm so pleased 2 actually see what forgiveness and accountability gives birth to if the world could only mimic you

I would like a complete thorough analysis of Mbeki's presidency. Particularly his first term, why did he make Zuma Deputy President, what his logic was associating himself with snakes like Tony Blair, Mbeki is an enigma Also how did allow bafoons like Zuma, Ace, Gwede etc and the new guard to kick him out of his position so much that he couldn't even finish 2nd term. Lastly as the son of Govan Mbeki how did he fumble so much. Mbeki is an enigma
Lol good old days
And so many died cos of him 😅😅😅
