Thabo ha done a good job,but we should stop pointing fingures and maaking false speculations regarding his resignation.It was just about time.We are in a free and democratic country.If people of a party dont like something they they wont tolerate it.ANC deploys and we vote for it.It deployed him and now they can remove him,this can happen to anyone.Im sick of people attacking Malema,He just speaks out thats all and hes brave,not afraid of anyone.He carries the mandate of youth league,now whats the fuss!!! People are still sturborn…….

I have never in my entire life anticipate the most recent events of State President Sacking happening within the ANC. The ANC have throughout the years been a good example when it comes to showing respect to our leaders. It is very sad to see a man of Thabo Mbeki’s personality leaving the office in such a humiliating way. This is a senior leader of the movement who sacreficed his entire life working for our movement. I have always refused to believe that the ANC is dying at very fast pace but now I am convinced.

I therefore call upon the branches of the African National Congess to rethink the decision they made in Pholokwane to check whether it was a good one because the developments within the movement are showing otherwise. The current leadership is a bunch of dictators who believe that they are above the law and the nation as a whole.

We need to learn from the likes of Nelson Mandela that leadership is not about retaliation. True leaders don’t use emotions and anger to solve problems. The last but not least a true Comrade will never delibately hurt and humiliate another Comrade in front of the whole world. Perhaps it’s time for a new political party which will stick and abide to the original principles that the ANC stood for all these years.

Dear Fellow Africans,

It is really sad. Please learn to respect leaders and the same time people might have done few bad things but don’t forget the good things and suffering they gone though for the nation and people of the country. ANC could have been waited for a few months and salute him with a respect and a decent farewell.

We Africans are very greedy for money and power, to accrue these things our generation find any means. Our former leader Honorable Nelson Mandela taught us lot of good examples. Our new leaders please try to learn from that Great Leader.

The last but not least a true Comrade will never delibately hurt and humiliate another Comrade in front of the whole world.

Thank You

Well South Africa doesn’t deserve a good Leader like President Thabo Mbeki if this is the way he’ll be sacked and betrayed as the President and removed from the office, I cannot understand why people are sacrificing the economy and well-being of our country just for the sake of being led by a person who is power hungry and who makes stupid public commets and worst of all an illiterate who barely has a formal education who things HIV risk can be reduced by having a show, they must be ashemed of themselves, indeed this is the end of the era, South Africa is a joke after Mbeki with fools like Malema and Zuma… Just imagine…

I think it would have been noble to wait for a few more months for the Mbeki’s term to end, why force him out with such humiliation, the next thing Zuma says there is no issues between him and Mbeki, that they are still friends and comrades, it doens’t take a fool or a politician to figure this all out. Malema is a joke of a leader, with no morals, no respect and very illeterate. when he called out for Mbeki to step down, he stated that they put him there, so they can remove him, who does Zuma think he is, because they can & will do the same to him. This is bad for our economy, I won’t be suprised if investors withdraws from us, If no on intervens, we are going down as a country.

Its Not Fair!!!
I am sad about the release of our president. I think that it was very selfish of the people who decided the fate of South “Africa without consulting us, south Africans. this is a replica of what happened in Rwanda, when the Europeans decided on the borders of Rwanda without consulting them; leading that country to a civil war. is this what is going to become of South Africa? many are going to migrate from this country and i don’t know what is going to happen to the FIFA World cup 2010. We are not going to have it , shame. We are looking at the collapse of South Africa… bring back Thabo Mbeki. Funny enough Thabo Mbeki is the first president to resign, that does not look right, not him nor for the country

I must thank His former President Thabo Mbeki for an insightfull leadership that mentored some of us to come from Kenya to study in South Africa. It was a pillar of stability and hope. A country that respects the rule of law and conserves its envirobment for the future public good.

It is beyond words to re-think of such a recourse that took place at Polokwane but one witnesses lack of sobriety and tolerance. At this point this could not have happened, and from this precedent it is inevitable that more is likely to be duplicated in our beloved African country.

Mbeki did it like a man and he took a rae step to offload himself off the doubting thomas and the betraying Judas since no other African president including Muamar Gaddafi would accept such a thing. This in my view does not make His excellency the former president a vilain. I highly noticed he a great victor when you look wider in the Continent.

My advice to him is kindly pick on a pro-poor project and lead as a philanthropist. May God bless you for now we are reaping the good fruits of your leadership.

Ladies and gentlemen, brace yourself for the country’s NEXT president. Mr. Kgalema Motlanthe. Forget about Thabo Mbheki and his cabinet “for good”. Scribe this era down with a chisel and hammer into your History books, and close the book for eternity. Let it be known to your offspring and be discovered by your descendents that there once was a president, and a cabinet by his side, that was removed from power following a high court ruling. We’re now moving from the “new South Africa” to the “New New South Africa”. What interesting times we live in, in South Africa !

let us be grateful that Mbeki was recalled and not `eliminated`
