Picture from the article on CNN linked below
South African President Thabo Mbeki resigned today, though when he would officially leave office is as-yet undetermined.
At first, I was jubilant at the news, because of his connections to AIDS denialism -- which, upon further reading, is not as bad as I thought it was originally, just the opinions of his Health Minister, Manto Tshabalala-Msimang (who is an avid AIDS denialist and says that garlic can cure the disease).
However, reading more, he apparently was really good for the country.
Here's to you, President Mbeki, I have to give you props. Good luck, via con dios.
