South Africa is at times "out of Africa"

South African President Thabo Mbeki’s honourable exit after the ruling African National Congress lost confidence in him is laudable, remarks Martin Tairo Maseghe. Praising Mbeki for “a very diplomatic resignation”, Tairo adds: “It’s not something one would have expected to happen on African soil this century. He has set an example that should be emulated by other African leaders. Change is coming to Africa, and this time, it’s from the south.”
