Awww, isn’t he SWEET???!!!

NEVER. There is certainly a behind the scene reason why perhaps Jacob Zuma, he who was named The Most Influential Person In The World, is against the sacking of Thabo Mbeki.

We have already mentioned that Zuma is acting all so Presidential, especially and this is one of those moments an leader should do. Zuma and ANC Secretary General Gwede Mantashe have slashed calls for Mbeki to be ousted and an early election be called.

We were going to put up our thoughts but the comments section of this post at the The Times , are a must read. Here are the ones stood out:

"RECALLING MBEKI IS POINTLESS WITHOUT RECALLING THE WHOLE GOVERNMENT!

I don’t see any point in removing Mbeki alone. He is only a figurehead right now but most of the government is increasingly dysfunctional. Civil servants are doing as they please - and corruption levels are at their highest right now. Public servants who still are the senior ones - DGs and DDGs, and effective recruitment is almost dead. Please comrades, please Zuma and Mantashe, please gather courage and do the obvious. Disband this corrupt Mbeki government!" by Halala .

"I think JZ and the ANC were very clever in keeping Mbeki. There is a lot going against Mbeki right now, and the new ANC would be baling him out if they were to ask him step down.
I think there is more coming for Mbeki than the ESKOM and Ginwala revelations.

By the way Eskom has suddenly found the required capacity now that they are being investigated for various crimes against the South Africans!!!" by Phawuza .
