Durban - Coming out of a long self-imposed political exile, former South African President Thabo Mbeki has dropped another Zimbabwe political bombshell, saying not even “one” Zimbabwean said they wanted former Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe deposed from power.
Mbeki said this while giving a speech at a special Robert Mugabe memorial service in Durban on Tuesday. He said instead of Zimbabweans wanting Mugabe out of power, it was the British who wanted to use military force to get him removed. The former South African president brokered the 2008 government of unity that brought in the late leader of the MDC Morgan Tsvangirai to become the Prime Minister under Mugabe.
I'm one of those who never marched into the street to have His Excellency RGM removed from office.
His network is f?ed.
MaiNoah1 Your works will follow you..if he was loved where the lovers
In 2008 he said that no Zimbabwean lost his life during the election period😎
He is a very big fool.Which world is he living in?
This is a slap in the face of all the people that is suffering in Zimbabwe. The current situation is so dire and there doesn't seem be an end to it. Robert Mugabe was the sole reason for all of that! I dare you to visit Zimbabwe as a normal person...you won't last a day there!!
This guy is a clown, period..
The same person who caused hundreds of HIV sufferers to die, because he told them they could be cured by eating beetroot. Only fools believe him.
All the respect i had for this clown just vanished. South Africans were right to boot him out. Maybe he is becoming senile
Unfortunately, this is a clear admission of President Mbeki’s betrayal of the people of Zimbabwe. Instead of standing with people of Zimbabwe, he opted to chose Mugabe’s Comradeship.
He also said AiDS was not transmitted sexually
Same guy said AIDS could be cured with garlic potatoes 🥔
Ke nama tsa megoga die mense bane ba ja Nou ba pallwa ke the change over SA bone ke ditshele lesebo le maaka ...A boletse Tuks
He is busy rewriting history
need to add lots more ice with it sir or it starts pickling the brain
He should have asked me
IOL did you see this one🧐 - was there not a cause🙏🏿👇🏾
This is a big lie, Mugabe was a dictator, Zimbabweans were afraid of him, they left their country to find hope in other countries, the only people saluting Mugabe are politicians, African politicians.
He went around messing up
Mbeki has always been senile. This just confirms it positively
But his mate is now in power? Strange indeed
Come snd chat to all the expats in Umhlanga etcetc
This was a coup to protect ill-gotten wealth from the Junta...... Told you long back
This coming from someone who steadfastly denied that AIDS exists - is hardly surprising.
He was elected!!!😂😂😂😂
He's lying lying lying. He should just represent his friend and not Zimbabweans. Remember when he said Crisis,what Crisis?. This guy is not loved by Zimbabweans but only by the house of Mugabe
What this oldman is saying is the antithesis of the truth and is culpable in the unending Zimbabwean political and economic crisis.
And let's not forget that there is no link between HIV and AIDS and eating garlic solves the problem, very cleva.
No thinking Zimbabwean wanted a coup.
South African presidents are the bishops that try and sanitize all the evils Zimbabwe is going through. Mbeki and quiet diplomacy, Motlante and his bandit in the commission of inquiry, Ramaphosa and the Xenophobia
Yeah right Mbeki. That's a lie 🤥, I give the lie bottomless pinnochios. Can't tell me Mbeki never met MDC reps
Really? I rest my case.
Who the hell are you speaking for, Thabo? What are they paying you to throw your name away like this?
Mbeki is an unrepentant liar he lost credibility a long time ago. In Kenya he endorsed rigged elections as free and fair when thousands were killed houses burned. He did the same in Zimbabwe. He should just shut up and enjoy his pension
In which city did he go ask?
I stopped respecting this guy when he screwed Zimbabweans in 2008, but with this there is no going back he is as useless as the other African leaders.
Then am not a Zimbabwean
Can someone please check this old man's mental state. He is not okay
Dear HermanMashaba please expect more 3 million Zimbabwe coming your way , this kind of talk by Mbeki dosent inspire confidence in the Region
Between ThaboMbeki and RobertMugabe they boast an incredible 9 academic degrees. However some of their ideas & thinking suggest a horrible case for education.
He is lying
Mbeki is the reason for the burning poverty and destruction of Zimbabwe because he is the one who supported and sustained the brutal dictator because Mbeki also wanted to be another dictator.
King of the much vaunted and highly successful “softly softly” approach with Bob - while Zimbabwe burned...
As I always suspected, Mbeki doesn't read. I knew it the day I counted 20 books (Encyclopedia Britannica) in his library.
Wow all these so called freedom fighters live in a parallel universe. This is why Trump called Africa a shithole. Corruption and murder of its own citizens is normal.
Maybe he should ask ANY Zimbabwean living in SA, what they thought and why they were here.
This guy should stop speaking on behalf of Zimbabweans & instead focus on e mob linching African nationals in S.A
Waaahhaaaaahaaaaa😂😂😂😂😂😂😂. Dementia
Thabo has always been divorced from reality. What a joke!
he said 'I have never met any Zimbabwean that said they want Mugabe out, not even one.' Your narrative is misleading IOL
Mbeki is losing his marbles. Shem.
Anutha po..s
So said the nearly 4million Zimbos in South Africa what a Mampara Mbeki is
So waar!!
Cde Mbeki must be smoking the highest grade of sekuru_gudo Product in his legendary pipe and quaffing copious amounts of Dotito vodka in the process. Don’t try that at home folks KingJayZim Mavhure Rex27 Wamagaisa RMajongwe Sunduzawekanyi
ThaboMbeki1 BS, mate. Check your Alzheimer status .....
Bathong!
No 20000 did. In Gukurahundi.
Does he live in cuckoo land ? All Zimbabweans hated him in the end he ruined their country just see how many went to his funeral ! What is wrong with this man. I think that all the African leaders are blind !
Ok it finally happened Mbeki has gone senile !! There are Millions and millions of Zimbabwe citizens that want mugabe deposed Why was his funeral so poorly attended - the majority are happy he is gone ! And know the current zim president helped him hold onto power by force!
And for some unknown reason I have actually always thought this guy was clever....
He must be smoking HIV drugs. MDM were robbed in the elections.
Now this is the Mbeki we know
Mr Mbeki, now you are speaking utter and total crap.
What is Mbeki smoking in his pipe these days or has the man just gone senile
He's not wrong u know....i mean if they wanted him gone they would've voted him out long ago
😂😂Wow.Please tell me this a joke.
Like the aids debacle..MBEKI AGAIN IS SMOKING WEIRD MIND ALTERING PIPES
What an idiot. He is the type that will bring Africa down.
Deposed means removed suddenly and forcefully. in the context of what he was talking about he meant deposed militarily and he's correct, no zimbabwean wanted military invasion to remove President Mugabe.
These bloody politicians all have their own blinkers on.
Having listened to the whole lecture my conclusion is Morgan and MDC were screwed.Mbeki was never an honest mediator and is complicit in our suffering.Mbeki propped up a murderer and he has blood on his hands!
SonjaPHD LMAO! .....jemce
Why do I believe him? People whose mind operates in a different frequency are usually misunderstood
Must be why millions of zimbos ran to South Africa, they wanted to tell us that in person
'There are none so blind as those that refuse to see' Matthew 9:13 ...and just when I was starting to like the guy again, he sprouts some of that 'old time Mbeki denialism' ...pity...
How is that bombshell?
He said he never “met”, MDC said they wanted him to help them find common ground with Mugabe.
Dagiwe
Can't believe this guy used to be the South African president
Well Thabo the man is dead just say the truth now,
Quit diplomacy not quit anymore huh
This generation is taking for ever to die.
That’s painfully misplaced loyalty to hear from the former President I have great admiration for. Nothing but a ‘liberators’ narrative
🙏🏽 for that perspective TM!!!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Mbeki was always aloof.
Wow intsomi zalo tata
But more zim Citizens were here never went to vote Mugabe out
Mr Mbeki stop making Mugabe look like a saint
Yes. It's actually more than 10 million.
And Mugabe told him this secret
benpooler He said this with a straight face?
Here we go again. Instead of sitting on a rocking chair and puffing away on his tobacco pipe and contemplating how he can apologize for his AIDS damage, he comes up with this.
Quelle surprise 😲
Idiot
He did not meet one
Is Mbeki also on JW Blue?
Temporary insanity or else senility
Why is it so difficult for our African leaders to admit if one of them screwed up? Mugabe’s prolonged rule resulted in the deterioration of Zimbabwe as an African powerhouse. Former President Mbeki, like so many other African leaders, was complicit in his failed administration.
Mbeki must just shut the F up because he was quiet all this time. We need ppl who will talk about the dirty judges and ruppets
Narrative of Mugabe was so good. He won me. Make me understand?
Thabo Mbeki is part of our long-standing political & economic problems. Last time he stood hand to hand with Mugabe; he told the World there was no crisis in Zimbabwe; election results took 3 months to be announced followed by an aborted run-off that saw 200 MDC supporters killed
He did not say that, he said he did meet one Zimbabwean that wanted Mugabe deposed, don’t lie
When I heard that he was addressing the memorial lecture, I knew he would not say anything negative about Mugabe hence I did not waste my time to watch despite being his admire on public speaking. Zimbabweans blame him for Mugabe stay in power citing mining interests.
Oh well Mr 'No Crisis, What Crisis' is at it again. Even I know a lot of Zimbos who wanted Bob Mugabe gone
