Abstract
When Thabo Mbeki became South Africa’s de jure Head of State in June 1999 he was faced with intense demands on policy-making and governance. The ANC’s support in the national election of 1999 grew to 66 per cent (an increase from 62 per cent in 1994) and the President set about to project himself as South Africa’s ‘Mr Delivery’. Whereas Mandela had focused on nation-building and political reconciliation, the Mbeki presidency was determined to operationalise its election promises of ‘a better life for all’.
AIDS is a devious disease — it thrives on divisiveness.
The Washington Post, 15 March 2001
