Former South African president, Thabo Mbeki
It's been more than 10 years since former President Thabo Mbeki was recalled as President of South Africa. This move would lead to weakening Mbeki's position not only on national affairs but on continental affairs as well.
Since Mbeki became the president of Africa's most advanced economy in 1999, he immediately took charge of the renewal of the continent in a more appealing way than any other leader had done, at least in the modern era.
