South Africa's President Thabo Mbeki admitted this week at the beginning of the ANC congress that the party has never been as divided in fifty years. As the country heads for election next year it is clear that most people have lost faith in Mbeki's administration. The man Thabo Mbeki who succeeded Cde Nelson Mandela has not been in touch with the average people. The moment of truth has come and the people are tired. His former Vice President Cde Jacob Zuma is no doubt the people's favorite. Zuma appeals to the majority of poor black South Africans while Mbeki is of a higher business class. Despite Tutu" s self righteous plea the people seem to have made up their minds on the next leader. The Nobel Prize winning Arch Bishop must leave it to the people to decide. If Zuma can do the job who cares about his personal mistakes. He that has no sin must cast the first stone.
Mbeki who is also a good friend of Zimbabwe's President has for a long time taken people for granted thanks to the his father's role in the liberation of the country.
