Seven months after Mbeki has been informed of the criminal activity by police commissioner Jackie Selebi, he placed him on leave. Later Mbeki extended his contract. Then Zimbabwew, here he tried brokering a peace deal. Except, in Mbekis case, it all came to nothing. It took a fortnight for Mbeki to react to the xenophobic violence. In a speech that was roundly slammed for his lack of compassion and decisive leadership he proved why he is and was in fact no leader in the first place.
Firing corrupt people is very hard and can generate bad publicity for the country. So is it possible he reduced Jackie Selebi's duties while allowing him to keep his job?
Yes you are an African!!. According to your governments and your policies of denial Mbeki, 300 000 people have died of AIDS that could have been saved. According to the latest investigative report by the UN. Yes, an African Idiot!
If you want an INFORMED OPINION go to capetownalive . co . za and under featured bloggers : tash chapman : read the one called The Ultimate Threesome. iT UNCOVERS the TRUTH about Zuma, Mbeki and Winnie Mandela.
he will always be the greatest leader south africa has ever had. he only mistake was the aids issue, that was many years ago. i dont why people don't want to see the good in him. my president 4 life. hon MR THABO MBEKI
follow mugabe,starve,buy yourself a wheel barrow,so you can buy a loaf of bread.
sick of hearing how its always the "whites" fault.look at civilizations in the past. life came from africa...the greeks,egyptians,romans...any other culture
has left a fingerprint of their existance...
what has southern africa left behind...some zulu huts...its people like you who destroy.
why is everyone so negative about this beautiful country? I live here and i love it people make it out to be worse than it realy is. I've lived in the US and let me tell you racism is much worse over there than it is here.
I really doubt that. Over here, anything bad you do against a black person is considered racist, but anything done to a white person (farm murders or when white people werent allowed to enter a Jacob Zuma press conference), then there's nothing wrong with that?
Now they say that the Springbok emblem is racist and must be replaced. Then Essop Passad says "Some white South Africans want 2010 to fail" and there is NOTHING wrong with that. If I said something bad about black ppl,it'll b in the news
Thanks splutonium for that constructive response. So what u r actually saying is "I cant respond intelligently so let me try something simple".
Besides, complaining is the ONLY way to get things right, can u imagine if black people never protested against apartheid and just accepted everything
You sound like the minister of Safety and Security when he spoke about people complaining about crime, "They can continue to whinge until they are blue in the face, or they can simply leave this country"
You are a disgraced African who sacrifices people's lives at the cost of your beliefs. You are a disgraced African who ignores the plight of those who die and are tortured for freedom. You are a disgraced African who sides with dictators all in the name of being an African. Go quietly; you will not be missed.

...So, by your 'logic (If it can be construed as such),' the millions of displaced Africans in Western Civilization are not Africans, since they do not speak 'at least' Zulu, but they are a bunch of 'confused' black people?
...And your snide little comment about xenophobia isn't impressive-Immigrate to the U.S., and you'll see xenophobia in action...
Can you say Lumumba? He was a great black leader. Until the white racist C.I.A. killed him, like they did Huey P Newton and All the Panthers. Go kill yourself andregroble.
You south african whites will never change. It doesnt matter where yoou go in the world. Let me tell you something, Blacks are great leaders, no matter where they are from. The events that are taking place in South Africa are happening all over the world. Theres no place thats better or worse in this world. I live in the United States and this country is more messed that SA but yoou dont know that. I've travelled around the US and its pretty dissapoinitng in some areas, includint hollywod.
what right does this self appointed dictator have to meddle in the affairs of Zim, it only keeps the problems in the family and will solve nothing. Morgan go get yourself a statesman - a white guy, not this puppet con artist that tried so hard to be a mandela and failed. Yes mandela, the guy who sold nuclear technology to the Iranians so it could be used on the Christian West. Now thats FREEDOM in action for you. What goof balls, why are they on our planet
wow great perfomance guys why don't u protect yo white brothers who had power for more than 40 years in south africa and i guest we can't count the crime they did and missusing the power,poor whites.its only been 15 years but look @ what we've achieved,your ways of demotivating us will not we are africans and we stand 2gether not afrikaneers and yet everyone is free to what they want, except for whites bcoz they can't jobs since they don't want go to school ha ha ha,go 2 yo countries muthaf&ers.
shut ur face boy ur a guest in UK. You bunnies have done nothing for sa cept steal n rape coz its all u can do. U wont last 10 mins in sa ur too pussy. africans stay 2 gether so why are u the bastard of a SLAVE arse wipe?
Its sad or you are sad rather. You probably didn't ive through apartheid and you speak like this. Bitter young person. your parents and gran parents geberation is gooing to die and live all that hatred and ager with you. do your self a favour, befriend a black person and you will know what a good people we are. whites are nothing in the United States, black Americans dont like white people. I'm South african, I live in the States, evry day, i encourage black americas ppl to see the light.
you're right whites are nothing in the ghettos. And blacks in south africa agree with me, they say, 'same jail different jailers'. If you were in USA you would know better, you're a bull shitter Soweto is in the Transvaal not the USA you watch too much sabc tv, I've probably has more black girlfriends that you, do you want me to help you get a girl - they prefer white guys, BIG TIME!
Wow! So much animosity from the angry white folks. As if you guyz worked hard enough for everything you had during the dayz of apartheid. The only reason you had everything and anything was because of the colour of your skin. Screw all the hateful white bastards that have always been so resolute to feed the black mind lies. Shit like the first so-called Europeans knew anything before they landed in Africa, jack is what they knew. Trying so hard to convince us that we r not good enough...SCREW U!
100% agree with you, president Mbeki doesnt support Robert mugabe. He wrote a danming report in 2001 to mugabe, advising him of the repurcussion of is actions. Mbeki requested Mugabe to discontinue the land grabs. Why all this hype about SA not doing anything. What are the Zim people doing themselves, they seem to be fine situation in their own country. If they cant clean their own, why shopuld we do it for them if they are fine with it. these other idiots are stupid and they post stupid views.
South Africa is racist beacuase, the white south africans have not accepted the fact that black people are in power and its likely to be like that forever. For your own information idiot, South frica has done very well under Mbeki's rule. The escalating gas(petrol) prices are happening al over the world. I ive in the United States, gas is at its highest mark ever here too. White business has made a lot of money in SA, post 1994, why bitch and moun. next time, give facts and post sensible views.
Substantiate your answers views please, dont juts say that the country is getting worse. South africa is doing as a country, even those so called first world coountries like the united states, england and threst have problems of their own. I live in america, theres as much bad things here as in south africa. Our country is only the size of the state of taxas, so stop your stupid and sense less comments about SA, if you dont have anything to write about on the net,dont tarnosh SA's reputation.
Hello Mr African, would you be so kind as to explain why 2.5 Million White Racial Refugees had to flee southern africa in the last 12 years and why they don't get recognition as refugees from the UN as most of them fled for their lives in your tour of duty as a 'president'.
I wonder if world leaders know how bad it is going in South Africa? Last year alone 20,000+ people lost their lives due to violent crime in South Africa, thousands upon thousands of women were raped in South Africa last year! It is not going well in South Africa at all! I fled South Africa with my family because of the above. Apartheid sucked but the Bloody New South Africa is a complete nightmare.
Right after the fall of the Berlin Wall, it took a while for Eastern Germany to stabilize. Russia is still struggling after the fall of communism. There are Russians fleeing to the U.S. for a better life. A country that has been dealing with violence for so long will take a while, but it can be done.
How coincidental is it that this xenophobia crisis(not a crisis to you)comes at a time when you failed to get a grip of the crisis(not a crisis to you) in Zimbabwe? Tell me something mate, are you capable of taking control of anything in your useless life? What positive impact have you made to anything that demanded your intevention? You will go down with the reputation of a LOSER which you earned entirely out of ignorance.
please go easy on him coz he went to the colonial London school of economics and is nothing but an untested bean counter. the fight now in south africa is for the shrinking market of crime against whites and whose gang is the biggest and the local boys could not control the foreign blacks . its a turf war. too many desperadoes and not enough white people left to steal from - this even to a colonial bean counter talks volumes, it's african economics in action, and they think you dont know ha ha
I love thi Poem/Speech. i have never been more proud to call myself an african.
To all my brother and sisters out there pls love one onother and stop thi foolishness with the attacks. it is madness amd very stupid. God loves us all
hypocrite, BEE/AA apartheid architect, liar. white hater, european hater, christian hater, nato hater, bring on colonialism and put this arrogant pygmy with his moslem consultants on robben island.
'I am an african?' No shit, whats your point? I think it's time to stop smelling the roses and have a look around mate! either that or you have had your head stuck up your own ass for too long, RSA going going gone...
i think he is not perfect but he is better than zuma who is dangerous ! i prefer helene zille if zuma is a candidate for anc in 2009! mbeki mandela great men
Well i Love africa, i just hate negres because they cant seems to be able manage any country in the world. Without our white money they would be probaly fighting each other for a banana somewhere in the jungle.
I think most of you heve never been to Africa or Sth Africa, the only info you have abt our country is from you biased, pro-colonial, white supremacy preaching media, hence your stupid and ignorant comments. some of you wud just like to say "Africa needs a white man to colonise it", your comments have such underlying message.
Mr Pigsley here. Actually I have lived in S.A. - Durbs to be precise for 6 years, so I think I am qualified to pass comment. The FACT is that under so-called "white colonialism" most blacks were a bugger of a sight better off than under black African leaders. Where to start.... Kenyatta, Mugabe, Idi Amin, Nyere, the goes on. And now that disgusting peice of vermin, Mugabe and the current "apology" for a President of S.A., M`Beki continue the tradition. I rest my case. Truly, T.I.A.This IS Africa
South Africa is messed up anf getting more messed up by the day, its for sure following the footsteps of Zimbabwe watch in the next 10 years those people dont know how to build they dont know love they just know violence thats all! I am african , I will not say it out loud, I dont wish for anyone to hear that I am african!
How did this pathetic ignorant black fuckwit come from cleaning the lavvies in the zoo to being President of you beautiful country? How can he follow Nelson Mandela? What happened South Africa?
I am an African? Ok, Mr, Mbeki, what is it that you're doing for Africa ? Not much I think...
Are you concerned about the situation in Zim.? It seems not, weak , useless and afraid.. fuckin' typical. Your brothers, your sisters die, daily, whilst you stand and call Mugabe a friend, fk u Mbeki, fk u You are as guilty as Mugabe.
guys!!! please stop bickering!!! i can't stand this!!!! YOU are why south africa is terrible! Fuck the person who wrote i am an african who cares about him! Lets rather look at how beautiful our country is! How lucky we are! And how proud we should be to be a South African. Agreed we have our problems and corrupt politician but which country doesnt? I am a South African, and I can say it with a smile on my face... Can any of you?
Wake up raidz06. Pretending that things are all right never solved anything. Ignoring the truth is how we get into SHIT. "Ho, I have cancer, lets look on the bright side and not worry about it." Then you DIE!!! Just wake fkn up.
I wonder how far Umbeke has got his tongue stuck up the ass of Mugabe? Maybe they are very close gay lovers which would explain somethings. Or, maybe they are just plain racists hell bent on destroying Africa. You choose....
Mbeki is a dictator like Muguba the people have voted they don't want you now go!! Mbeki your own people are fed up with you, just like Mugabe give the people the country back!
Its better if all whites just leave SA. Let SA become like the rest of barbaric Africa. White man brought progress and development to Africa. Is it not strange that no African has ever done something significant like invent something or what ever??? People wake up the government is for them self's only They don't give a fuck about the people And the poor can not see that Promises to get votes that's all its about
Waiting 15 years to get a house And why should anyone get a house for free
Mr Mbeki is one of our greatest leaders ever. peaple hate him because he is smart and does not take shit. I would be do anything to work with him. listen to his speech. it shows edeucation and inteligency. he is our hero, the interactual class.
hey mbeki i hear you dont like criticism, fuck you! with leadership like you africa will never rise up - so keep going, you doing great ho ho. even your bodyguards resign in fear of taking a bullet for you. as useless as mandela is you cant even keep up with him and hes done nothing sept talk.
your only gift is to serve shit to your people and they think its prime beef. just wait till they find out, walls wont be high enough, you piece of filthy SHIT,now get me hijacked you soft dick wanker.
When will the Kenyan leaders be patriotic enough, to fall in love with their motherland, in love of all Kenyans, animals, landscape, and all that God has endowed our motherland Kenya with.
Let this be a challenge to the leaders of our great country Kenya, today iam ashamed to be Kenyan
with due respect, count your words you'll be in trouble dont take advantage. dont ever do sweart again. T B is our president is not yuor Friend,., let it be the last time,
This Video is inspiring and a great tribute to a man of honour Pres. Thabo Mbeki. This is the man that has turned our countries economy around and has earned us a reputation amounst the international financial community. It is because of this man that some of you insult that we are allowed to travel abroad with proud faces.
gay071- wake up!!the man who denied HIV existed! he allowed an alcoholic health minister get a liver transplant! she said garlic and honey will cure you of aids! whose quiet diplomacy with zimbabwe has seen inflation grow to 100500%
- no resolution - and yet another rigged election!! another black politician who promises everything!(but after he has got a merc, a fat villa in Sandton and 6 million rand pension!!) who gives a fuck about black south africans!! and whites!! fuck who are they!!!
Thabo Mbeki is highly intelligent .Surely anyone who can't see that is themselves no Mensa candidate . The man speaks English (one of 5 languages he speaks) better than all of you afrikaaners mocking his "accent". He also never denied Aids ...if you are this gullible to believe this media pushes bullshit....don't bother Mensa with your application just yet .
What is wrong with you? They speak many languages. He wants to communicate with the masses. I can not believe I have to tell you this. You must be mentally hindered.
What a pathetic South African you are not able to embrace diversity and accept your role in our society. We are all global citizens but we need to embrace our heritage as South African and I hope you are a South African? Are you?
I wonder if world leaders know how bad it is going in South-Africa? Last year alone 20,000+ people lost their lives due to violent crime in South-Africa, thousands upon thousands of women were raped in South-Africa last year! It is not going well in South-Africa at all! I fled South-Africa with my family because of the above. Apartheid sucked but the Bloody New South-Africa is a complete nightmare.
Let the wise see how he approaches things. Since he presented this speech, I listen to it and it give me strength to go on. I salute u the strongest and brilliant son of the soil. Let Africans feel the meaning of 'Today it feels good to be an African'. If u don't know where Africans are coming from then u will complain day in and day out and for u 'Today it is frustration to be an African'.
Mbeki forgot to mention the white man as a part of his background.
Otherwise we would be hearing this speech in an african language and he would be standing there in animal skins. There also would be no president and he would have no car, house, or significant education. We could go on and on, but basically Ice age people in europe were as advanced as what he would be. Is this detail too small to mention?
South Africa is not doing so bad. Just the remnants of the white colonialists want to paint South Africa as a bad place since they are no longer in power. God bless all of Africa.
Yeah, our economy is doing pretty well, even better then half the european countries. I think most whites(and blacks) just aren`t clued up on this & only focus on the negative & have a habit of comparing us to super powers like UK & USA, which is unfair. There are a lot of whites who want SA to fail...i spit on those fuckers who curse our country like so....& fuck all you racists, white and black.
He thinks he has the charm of a Kofi Annan...but he certainly has the tolerance of a Putin! South Africa...a land of savages, rapists and murderers. Thank God blacks don't consider Indians, and whites as african....who would want to be labelled a savage and barbarian!
Mugabe and Zimbabwe are very complex Problems,i pray that they do not spill into SA, because then Africa will be in real trouble.
I think Mugabe is responsible for whatever is happening to his country,he trusted the British, History has consistently shown these people can not be trusted and now they are after him for Problems they created a long time ago.
And believe me Mbeki and other african leaders will do excatly nothing, beacuse they also do not trust the west.
He didnt write this speach , all propoganda , he has no heart if he had he would'nt sympatize with Mugabe and the broken beaten homeless people who cant even buy a bread anymore , we had the same in the old South Africa , propoganda , who ever controls the media controls the mind , nothing has changed except that the amount of bullshitt from Politicians that we have to endure is elevated by at least 80 %
Great speech! I am a white South African and I think President Mbeki could have done quite a few things better, but all in all he is not a bad president at all. Just look at some of our neighboring countries and you will realize how lucky we are. Of course he is not Mandela and there is always room for improvement (who knows who the next president will be), but right now Mbeki is also my president.
Remember what it means to be an African.
For centuries, the West has profited of our misery, and toil.
The laughing stock of the world, we are.
Black.
as the brightest light.
Still we stand.
I am an African, and I can never forget that.

Besides, complaining is the ONLY way to get things right, can u imagine if black people never protested against apartheid and just accepted everything
You sound like the minister of Safety and Security when he spoke about people complaining about crime, "They can continue to whinge until they are blue in the face, or they can simply leave this country"

You are a disgraced African who sacrifices people's lives at the cost of your beliefs. You are a disgraced African who ignores the plight of those who die and are tortured for freedom. You are a disgraced African who sides with dictators all in the name of being an African. Go quietly; you will not be missed.

...So, by your 'logic (If it can be construed as such),' the millions of displaced Africans in Western Civilization are not Africans, since they do not speak 'at least' Zulu, but they are a bunch of 'confused' black people?
...And your snide little comment about xenophobia isn't impressive-Immigrate to the U.S., and you'll see xenophobia in action...

You south african whites will never change. It doesnt matter where yoou go in the world. Let me tell you something, Blacks are great leaders, no matter where they are from. The events that are taking place in South Africa are happening all over the world. Theres no place thats better or worse in this world. I live in the United States and this country is more messed that SA but yoou dont know that. I've travelled around the US and its pretty dissapoinitng in some areas, includint hollywod.

100% agree with you, president Mbeki doesnt support Robert mugabe. He wrote a danming report in 2001 to mugabe, advising him of the repurcussion of is actions. Mbeki requested Mugabe to discontinue the land grabs. Why all this hype about SA not doing anything. What are the Zim people doing themselves, they seem to be fine situation in their own country. If they cant clean their own, why shopuld we do it for them if they are fine with it. these other idiots are stupid and they post stupid views.

South Africa is racist beacuase, the white south africans have not accepted the fact that black people are in power and its likely to be like that forever. For your own information idiot, South frica has done very well under Mbeki's rule. The escalating gas(petrol) prices are happening al over the world. I ive in the United States, gas is at its highest mark ever here too. White business has made a lot of money in SA, post 1994, why bitch and moun. next time, give facts and post sensible views.

I wonder if world leaders know how bad it is going in South Africa?

Right after the fall of the Berlin Wall, it took a while for Eastern Germany to stabilize. Russia is still struggling after the fall of communism.

Kenyatta, Mugabe, Idi Amin, Nyere, the goes on. And now that disgusting peice of vermin, Mugabe and the current "apology" for a President of S.A., M`Beki continue the tradition. I rest my case.

Mbeki forgot to mention the white man as a part of his background.
Otherwise we would be hearing this speech in an african language and he would be standing there in animal skins. There also would be no president and he would have no car, house, or significant education. We could go on and on, but basically Ice age people in europe were as advanced as what he would be. Is this detail too small to mention?
