Perhaps what I should have said was the formal proceedings in Parliament.

Being forced to resign isn't the same as impeachment, at least last time I checked.
Agree with you but can't help thinking what was said if he said he would like to finish his term. I am considering the numbers and influence they held in parliament at the time.

Anyway, it is semantics, this was "impeachment" without being impeached. That is how I see it.

Unfortunately, that is what they did to my favourite president :mad:.

He had his flaws but he knew how to run this ship before it became a titanic headed for the iceberg.
It had already hit the iceberg. Remember the arms deal? The aids denial? The endless musical chairs with communication ministers?

He knew how to steer the ship away from the HIV pandemic, being directly responsible for over 300,000 deaths in our land, orphaning thousands of innocent children, and humiliating us all on the World stage.

Impeachment means the loss of benefits, benefits that Mbeki is still enjoying today, so I really don't think it's semantics.

There were issues with his presidency but it was way better than what we have now.

Like I stated, he had his flaws, the man had the country moving forward and in a much better state.

Read again, did I state that he was the perfect president?

Hardly a flaw, nor an oversight. A direct ignorance of researched global facts, and coupled with ill intentions (Virodine), the lives of our countrymen were lost. Couple that with the arms deal, and the foundations set for mass corruption including ignoring direct warnings from Eskom engineers, one can hardly say he did anything but damage to our precious country. If Nelson Mandela had been 10 years younger when he was freed SA would be in a very different place now.

Eish Mbeki; at best a drunken sot, at worst a callous, treasonous weasel. Aside from mentioned already he gave SA the Zim issue, "silent diplomacy" ha ha and was a bit fan of ANC cadre deployment, silencing criticism of the corrupt and incompetent as, guess what, Racist! His regime squandered the late 2006 on resources boom. Then the little Hitler wanted a third term which opened the way for one J Zuma.
