Why? Nelson Mandela was and still is a card carring member of the COMMUNIST Party. Thabo isn't the only one.

Yeah but more people like Nelson Mandela. I have yet to track down a white South African that likes Thabo Mbeki.

Mandella doesn't enter in; communism does. Confiscation & 'redistribution' is classic. So is class-division.

As to Mbeki:

1. Sees NOTHING be done about Zimbabwe...except the EU make 'exceptions' for Mugabe & family to travel to EU in violation of 'sanctions'.

2. Sees Commonwealth do NOTHING about Zimbabwe flouting Commonwealth 'values', other than 'study', etc.

3. Mbeki is an out & out racist.

4. Terrible internal problems, which can be demonized onto the despized, properous minority.

Somehow, sounds made to order for the begginings for instituting a People's Paradise. Never mind that many of those problems are of his own making.
