Time for rational thought
Thabo Mbeki
Last night President Thabo Mbeki officially stepped down as head of state.
He did so with dignity and therein lies an important message.
South Africa is currently poised precariously on a tightrope.
The changing of the guard is more than just a temporary political upheaval. The latest developments are going to dramatically change the country's political landscape, holding significant implications.
These are critical times and as the country's next general elections nears - now only months away - it is imperative for our wellbeing that in the weeks and months ahead good governance, cool heads, rational thought and an unwavering adherence to our constitution rule supreme.
As Mbeki pointed out, it is importrant that South Africa moves on with its vision and goals.
Managing the turmoil, maintaining political stability and steering a smooth transition must be the new order's priority.
Emotional reactions will have consequences.
