President Mbeki embarrasses S. Africa again…
[Note. The DA are the official opposition in parliament, and one of the few voices of reason left in this country. What they fail to realise is that this action by Mbeki merely shows the lengths to which he will go in order to support Mugabe. I believe Mbeki & Co are firmly behind Mugabe – to the last white man!!

Johannesburg – President Thabo Mbeki had embarrassed South Africa by voting against the re-election of former New Zealand foreign minister Don McKinnon as Commonwealth secretary-general, the Democratic Alliance said on Sunday.
McKinnon was re-elected for a second four-year term on Friday.
“To force a vote about the appointment of the Commonwealth Secretary-General, as has just been done in Nigeria, is unprecedented. Not surprisingly, Mr Don McKinnon was re-elected with an overwhelming majority,” DA Africa spokesperson Graham McIntosh said in a statement.
“Sadly, it was President Mbeki who has again embarrassed South Africa by voting against Mr McKinnon. The underlying issue is Zimbabwe and, here again, President Mbeki has got it completely wrong.”
Verwoerd
McKinnon said the last African nation which faced the possibility of expulsion from the Commonwealth, resigning to avoid that fate, was apartheid-era South Africa. At a Zanu-PF congress in Masvingo on Saturday, Mugabe said that he would resign rather than face the indignity of expulsion.
“Both (former South African prime minister Hendrik) Verwoerd (who withdrew South Africa from the Commonwealth) and Mugabe denied democratic rights to their citizens and both believed in a poisonous mix of nationalism, racism and indigenisation, which they enforced by the abuse of the rule of law,” he said.
McIntosh suggested Mbeki study what happened when the Commonwealth reacted to Verwoerd’s South Africa. This might make him realise that, “just like on the Aids issue”, he was damaging South Africa’s international credibility and its reputation for integrity.
If Mugabe insisted on leaving the Commonwealth, Zimbabwe would be welcomed back when his era was over.
McIntosh said the DA hoped that South Africa would then sponsor Zimbabwe’s application to rejoin the Commonwealth.
