Let’s know more about Thabo Mbeki!

Thabo Mvuyelwa Mbeki served as the second President of South Africa who led the country from 14 June 1999 to 24 September 2008. From 1994 to 1999, he served as Deputy President under Nelson Mandela, a South African anti-apartheid activist and politician who was the country’s first president. Mbeki’s parents were teachers and members of the Communist Party of South Africa (CPSA), later renamed the South African Communist Party (SACP). The said organisation participated in the struggle to end the apartheid system in South Africa. Mbeki had a strong desire to end all forms of discrimination in South Africa.
