Mbeki: The Next President Of South Africa Should Be A Woman

Thabo Mbeki has reiterated his belief that the next president of South Africa should be a woman. Perhaps he’s doing this merely to quell intra party succession fighting, but most probably he really does believe this should be the case. Whether there are any women in the ANC who are popular enough is another story.

This quote from Mbeki however is a bit much:

I can report to you here that there is not a single man in the government, including the president, who works harder and better than the women who are serving in government

You know if you had to stack up the accomplishments of Trevor Manuel and Tito Mboweni against Ivy Matsepe-Casaburri and Stella Sigcau I think the men would come out on top.

Wow, now that is real democracy – when years ahead of the elections the president of the only party in the state declares who he wants to be the next president.
