What a friend in Azania had to say about M7 |
![]() |

Today is a public holiday here in RSA. So we have the day off. But mostly so we can admire what Mandela, Mbeki & Co. have achieved over the last 10 years. It was Mbeki's inauguration and also celebrating 10 Years of Democracy.
There were 25 African Heads of State including M7. But incredibly, South African television didn't give him any time of day. They (and the 40.000 people) had the hots for everyone--Kabila, Mugabe, Gaddafi, Kibaki, Muluzi, Chissano, Kagame, Obasanjo, everyone, believe me. But not M7! People here don't take him very seriously. There is a sense that because he is talking of staying in power (or not talking about it), he is out of step with Mbeki's NEPAD, AU and African Renaissance. I have never seen M7 look so unimportant in my life! And he actually looked so despondent. And to add insult to serious slight, they put him very far at the back, while people like Chissano sat on the podium.

This is true. I watched the CNN and BBC news and never saw M7 anywhere near the people that mattered!
