	Thabo Mbeki, pragmatist, leads new South Africa - Apr. 28, 2004 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		PRETORIA - President Thabo Mbeki, who was sworn in for a second and final term on Tuesday, has dedicated his entire life to the anti-apartheid struggle and to rebuilding a new multi-racial South Africa.
		Mbeki returned to South Africa in 1990 after the ban on the ANC was lifted and became a key figure in talks leading to the end of apartheid in 1994.
		Mbeki, 61, has always been seen as lacking the flamboyance and charm of Mandela but that perception may have changed somewhat in the run-up to the April 14 elections, in which his African National Congress (ANC) party won some 70 percent of the vote.

		Thabo Mbeki is the man the African National Congress has chosen to replace President Nelson Mandela after the presidential and parliamentary elections in South Africa later this year.
		At 56, Mbeki is still a relatively young man. His appointment as president-elect ruffled some feathers among African National Congress veterans in the cabinet who felt that their role in the struggle against apartheid had not been recognised.
		Mbeki spent most of his early years in exile, studying in Britain and going to Moscow to train as a guerrilla fighter, before devoting his efforts to lobbying against apartheid across the world.

	Thabo Mbeki
		Mbeki's father was Govan Mbeki, a bigwig in the African National Congress (ANC) and the South African Communist Party.
		Mbeki joined the African National Congress at the age of 14, but when the apartheid government arrested his father, the young Mbeki was whisked out of South Africa.
		Mbeki's parents were both longtime ANC stalwarts, so you'd think they'd be proud of their son, the President.

		It involved Mbeki's long time enemy PW Botha who also had come to this city on the Indian ocean to deliver a highly anticipated speech back in l989, when he was expected to end apartheid with a 'crossing of the Rubicon' address.
		Mbeki was criticized openly in a fiery speech by Winnie Mandela-Matsikela who is a fellow member of the ANC and a member or Parliament.
		Mbeki, bewildered by the anger and lack of tolerance shown by his critics., also seems unable to come up with a populist program for linking health and human rights and inspiring a people who are dying in droves.

		Mbeki: Well, one of them is the affect of the removal of foreign exchange controls.
		Mbeki: I think it's correct to the extent that as you see the corporate sector get stronger and all the measures that are taking place across the world, you are seeing a consolidation of economic power in fewer and fewer hands.
		Mbeki: There is a particular process taking place in Nigeria -- the government is saying that a civilian government will be elected, a president, etc. That process will continue, and I think if you take the generality of the Nigerian population, my sense is that that population will go along with that process.

		SOUTH AFRICAN President Thabo Mbeki, whose efforts to mediate in Zimbabwe's political crisis have failed to yield progress, this week publicly raised his concerns on the state of the country's voters' roll, ahead of the March 31 parliamentary poll.
		Mbeki said the SADC team would be on the ground, ready to receive complaints and to make the necessary interventions.
		Last year, Mbeki was the subject of an abortive lawsuit by the MDC, which sought to compel him to reveal the contents of a government observer mission to the 2002 presidential election won by President Mugabe amid outcries of violence, intimidation and rigging by opposition groups and mostly western international observers.

		Mbeki said the review had shown that "our approach to the challenge to commit and deploy the necessary resources for the realisation of the Millennium Development Goals has been half-hearted, timid and tepid".
		Mbeki said the summit had not made the progress it needed to make as it had not achieved "a security consensus" because of the widely disparate condition of existence and interest among member states as well as the gross imbalance of power among member states.
		Simply put, said Mbeki, "the logic in the use of power is the reinforcement of the might of the powerful and therefore the perpetuation of the disempowerment of the powerless.

		The nerdy, technocratic Mbeki soon became, as Mandela proudly called him, the "real ruler of South Africa," handling details of government on a day-to-day basis while the warm and charismatic Mandela preferred to reign in symbolic ways and bask in the glow of public adoration.
		Disquieting, too, was Mbeki's unwillingness in his Monday speech to acknowledge that the food vacuum caused by Mugabe's confiscation of white farms is the biggest cause of the famine now stalking Zimbabwe and neighboring African nations.
		But Mbeki, who has voiced doubts that the HIV virus causes this disease, has cut funding for the drug most commonly used to reduce spread of the infection from mothers to their babies.

		Young Thabo was sent out of the country (he would not return for 28 years), and studied in Sussex and briefly in the Soviet Union (the latter not unusual for young ANC leadership material at the time, given that the West remained cold to the struggle of South Africa’s majority).
		Mbeki presided over the transformation of the ANC from a mass movement to a professional political party in the vein of the average Western European social democratic party.

		MBEKI: Well, to talk about one specific area, we— what happened, very simply, really, is that people went to the banks and said, "I've come to borrow money because I want to buy 25 percent of such-and-such a company." And the banks gave them the money.
		MBEKI: We've been discussing this matter with the government of the Sudan, I discussed it directly with President [Omar Hassan Ahmad al-] Bashir, to say there's a problem, a big problem, in the way that you described it.
