J.S considers the move to force the South African President, Thabo Mbeki, out of office is stupid: “Mbeki being forced out is really a stupid thing for the ANC to do. Why couldn’t they have just left him there to complete his term?”

It looks like JS was right! Look at what is now happening. If they just left Mbeki to complete his term quietly, none of this drama within the ANC would now be happening
