The people have spoken, well, at least the people of the ANC. They have decided in favour of a total change. I congratulate them. Although I do not think that they had much to choose between, they’ve made the right choice.
I foresee that Mbeki will criticize the media for reporting a humiliating defeat for him. “It is but a ‘populist’ perception”, he will demand. He has not really been defeated. The result is what he hoped for. Hopefully we have now seen the last of this pathetic denial.
One however needs to remember that a lot can still happen towards the next election. The chances of Zuma being prosecuted and convicted is still very good. This would naturally eliminate him as a presidential candidate. But even if that happens, we at least know that Mr Mbkei and his stooges will not stand a chance. This might pave the way for Mr Molanthe, who is, as far as I can see, not such a bad candidate.
