Let us not forget that the honorable

Thabo Mbeki agreed to adopt the

 devastating, neoliberal policy

GEAR, during his administration.

 This policy enhanced the wealth 

gap, and indirectly helped to create

 South Africa's Gini coefficient whereby 

this country has perhaps the world's 

greatest gap between rich and poor.

He ditched RDP, that was  a more 

 progressive program

and against privatization and  the

 callous "survival of the fittest "

modus operandi.

Mbeki also presided over the deaths

of thousands during the AIDS crisis.

He did not cause the pandemic,  but 

his response was questionable.

His pivot to a meaningful PanAfricanist 

philosophy, later on in his career, should 

be applauded as a step forward.
