The presidency rotates annually between five geographic groups: African,
Asian, Eastern European, Latin American and Caribbean, and Western
European and other States.[1]
Because of their powerful stature globally, some of the largest, most
powerful countries have never held the presidency, such as the United States,
China, Russia, France, the United Kingdom, and Japan. In particular, it is
customary that a national of a permanent member of the UN Security
Council never serves as General Assembly president.

President of South Africa
His Forced Resignation in 2008 afforded peaceful transition - what's next for SA?
People like to identify Thabo Mbeki as an independent and original thinker, but one who remains close to the more visible
leadership. His profile as a policy shaper and mediator in the movement has been built up over a lifetime of involvement. "I was
born into the struggle," he says. His birth took place in Idutywa, Transkei, in June 1942.

South Africa after Mandela ---- Nearly everyone agrees ............
That's a "Big Tough Question" -
So It Is Clear That Church Is Not Out Yet.
Those of us on the outside looking in; can only guess about the too slowly emerging "Big Picture."
Clearly There Is Evidence of a "Lurking" Presence of EVIL - Divisiveness! Yes Evil does exist.
If we [Afrikans: People of Color] could only find the keys to the colors.

ANC forces South African President Thabo Mbeki to resign after power struggle with party rival
12:34 PM CDT, September 20, 2008
JOHANNESBURG, South Africa (AP) _ President Thabo Mbeki bowed to heavy pressure from his own party to resign Saturday,
tossed to the sidelines of the economic powerhouse he built up as punishment for allegedly abusing his power in trying to quash a
popular rival.
The swiftness of the ouster likely will stoke fears about the political and financial direction of South Africa, particularly if key Cabinet
ministers decide to quit in solidarity with Mbeki.
But the change also allows the governing African National Congress to declare its internal leadership battle over and turn its attention
to next year's elections, when key concerns will be about corruption and demands from the poor for jobs and houses.
Even as it demanded he step down, the ANC praised Mbeki for overseeing unprecedented growth. But little of the wealth created
since he succeeded Nelson Mandela in 1999 has trickled down to the black majority that had hoped for more with the end of apartheid.
The result is that poor blacks have flocked to the ANC's populist leader, Jacob Zuma, a one-time Mbeki protege who became a
potent foe. He is considered front-runner for next year's presidential election, but parliament will pick an interim leader to take over
from Mbeki.
While Zuma and Mbeki espouse similar views of South Africa's future, they differ sharply in style. Aloof and donnish, Mbeki won
praise from business but never attained the public support enjoyed by the personable, energetic Zuma, particularly among leftists,
union members and young people.
Many poor people lionize Zuma as a leader who understands the pain of the millions of South Africans who remain on the margins of
society.

"We're going through that 15-to-20-year transition phase from liberation
movement to mature government in Africa," said Frans Cronje, director of the
South African Institute of Race Relations, a Johannesburg think tank that
specializes in governance issues."The wheels are coming off the old ANC,"
Cronje said. "How South Africa's new leaders handle this will determine how
rough our ride will be ahead." Perhaps there is some truth stated here...

The African National Congress (ANC) has been South Africa's governing party, supported by its tripartite alliance with the Congress of South
African Trade Unions (COSATU) and the South African Communist Party (SACP), since the establishment of majority rule in May 1994. It
defines itself as a "disciplined force of the left".[1] Members founded the organization as the South African Native National Congress
(SANNC) on 8 January 1912 in Bloemfontein to increase the rights of the black South African population. John Dube, its first president, and
poet and author Sol Plaatje are among its founding members. The organization became the ANC in 1923 and formed a military wing, the
Umkhonto we Sizwe (Spear of the Nation) in 1961.
It has been the ruling party in South Africa on the national level since 1994. It gained support in the 1999 elections, and further increased its
majority in 2004.
