Viva our president, no scandals during your leadership. We appreciate you,may the Lord be with till the end

Happy Birthday Dlamini, Jama kaSjadu Ngximnaboya , Zizi I'm still very proud of you. If you were not jealously removed South Africa would be a first world country by now. Viva Thabo Mbeki Viva. Long live my President Long Live. 😭😭😭😭💔💔💔💔💭You touch me a lot . I wish you can see Queenstown under ANC ,a town that was soooo beautiful.

Desciplined Man...We love you Mr President!

He is the best president SA ever had outside Mandela

A man of integrity

This speech is so important to all black Africans ... Please read between the lines, he is trying to tell us something about the ANC and the future of a young black man who might save the country but is too young to contribute to the cause because of the ANC ... That is still the case ... Mbheki is trying to send a very strong message 🥺🤞🏿🆘

Happy birthday Mr. Mbeki, 🇸🇿 loves you

Such a great story teller.. Happy birthday Mr President.

He has always had the interest of the people in heart not only in Africa but world wide that is why he cared so much about the war's courses and it's prevention, he knew that we all needed each other one way or the other, he is telling us that has struggle was not for him alone to benefit from, he had in his mind keeping peace at all costs, he is mentioning the important issues of taking care of one another's burdens, he tells the other Africans country to relax because they will assist them in keeping their treasurer, the books indeed knowledge is power, Viva Mbeki you did your part and we are so proud that we experienced your leadership skills, you told the world that people are dying because of hunger not because of HIV and AIDS because you were looking at the root cause of this pandemic and you were so sudden that if people are full they will not be going around to do things that might put their health in danger just because of food and everybody attacked you for saying that, they said you did not care about the HIV and AIDS patients not realising that you were having a big picture looking beyond the sickness it's self and today it is surprising because people are now singing the same song they fought you when you were singing it, they now agree with you about hunger

hayi no its a lie he is not 80 he looks young.....happy birthday to the young man.

Thanks mr president for the great speech. You mentioned my home city Kampala and the great president we had ever had idi Amin of how clever he was to Africa continent. You reminded us of being one as a continent. Happy birthday MUKUBWA Asante sanna.

May the lord continues blessing you, we remember you every day,South African youth never suffered like this in your term. I like the fact that you never bias from day one till date.... You don't hack in skrr skrr!! ⚡ 🔥 💯 👏🏿

A delightful speech. Thank you!

Happy birthday President.....Your speech was well uttered, if one understands correctly it simply meant don't change tunes as a comrade

I am proud that Mr President mentioned my hometown Queenstown and my grandmothers place of resident #Esdikidini and Skalen Street ❤️❤️❤️🤘🏾🙏🏾🙌🏾he even mentioned iFantesi the agricultural field where Nonesi Mall is built✊🏽

We Love this Man, what a great Leader he is. South Africa nothing without your wisdom

Happy 80th anniversary, President!

Happy birthday playboy...we miss u as a president

Doesn't look 80 at all, love the shape that i see Mr Mbeki in

The reservoir of knowledge, history and understanding of how our democracy would be constructed. He knows exactly what was the vision of Leaders who formed the ANC. In all his speeches, you get to learn more about solidarity, unity of purpose, entrenched discipline and high moral ground. Long live President Mbeki, Sjadu kaMzizi...

It’s my biggest wish to to see him face to face, he is my mentor my leader my teacher,SABC please help me to get 5 min with him

Happy Birthday 🎂 🥳 🎉 My President. The Only President of South Africa 🇿🇦 I know

Happy birthday day president Mbeki.

Mr Mbeki has to be one of my favorite South African leaders who has had no equal as the head of South Africa in his time or since

What a MEMORY 🤔

Politics of this country deprived us this real leader. Buya tata Thabo for a third term Buya

Happy Birthday the epitome of wisdom

Just to sit at your feet and learn all about those stories and the wisdom lessons.... we need a Thabo Mbeki series of stories

Presidents leading in integrity, Nelson Mandela and Thabo Mbeki

In his speech there is a clear lesson for black south africans.

What a great speech.

Old man President Thabo Mbeki ❤️

Amin, one of our best leaders.

President Thabo Mbeki is very deep. The moral of the story is never to turn right (Jan van Riebeeck celebrations), turn left and join the Anc and be a loyal servant of the people.Enjoy many years to come my President

EsDikidini means (the Mindle), place is in Ezibeleni in Queenstown.

What a beautiful story!

Happy birthday former president Thambo Mbeki of South Africa.

Happy birthday Dlamini, Zizi, Jamaica ka Sjadu🎉🎉

Happy Birthday President!! May you be blessed for many years, and if possibile to help get RSA back to what it was in your time.

He is still very strong and full of energy

Indeed he was the best president.

So idi Amin is one of the greatest of all time

I'm just impressed on how this man doesn't wear glasses at his age

Still my president..... We need have a leader like him

The servant of the people

Belated Happy Birthday Highly esteemed African leader whose skills of governing encapsulates R. Mangaliso Sobukwe's maxim "True leadership self-subjugation of oneself" which YOU demonstrated when they removed you in power. Mr President Thabo Mbeki, as I follow your brilliance of story telling, I note that AFRICA played a great role in the liberation of South Africans. Yet today, children of Africans not locals are labelled "aliens" on their Birth Certificates. I, Jean Bwasa - Africa Analyst from the Kongo-Kinshasa acknowledge the role you played for ending the deadliest conflict worldwide which has caused 12 millions Congolese slaughtered; in silence we cry and in silence we die. You are an advocate of Peace promoting peace and stability, alas 20 African nations are in open or latent conflicts... Mr President, your legacy fighting poverty will survive, but the African child still goes to bed on an empty stomach, if you passed the relay baton to wrong people ...get it back and run "the African Renaissance" for a better life for all. I love the saga about the Congo and how stringent you were 'baby sitting the Congolese" and summoned them to sign within 48 hours. My elder, my father - Africa calls you to END the conflicts so that peace and stability will yield development. Your wisdom requires us to listen and apply our mind for a better Akelbulan (Africa) driven by the moral yardstick hloniping what Robert Mangaliso Sobukwe's maxim "True leadership requires self subjugation of oneself" as you close. It is overwhelming listening to such beautiful stories. You are the antithesis of Ayi Kwe Armah's "The Beautiful Ones Are not Yet Born" for your inner beauty radiates the love for others... I call that you invite all former SA who went in exile throughout AFRICA to share objectively their respective sejourn so that we put an end to this self-hatred of the other African... I am of the opinion that if Julius Nyerere, Kwame Nkrumah, Sekou Toure, Modibo Keita, Haile Selasie, Sankara, Lumumba and SA scholars such as Eskias Mphalele, Sol Plaatje, Chief Albert Luthuli, O.R Tambo, Ahmed Khathrada, to name just a few- were to rise up, they would cry and fill a tank with tears because they did not give their lives for such disunity and conflicts continent-wide. In a nutshell, I take my hat off for your reminding us that AFRICA is One.

Happy birthday to you papa Mbeki

Somebody try decode Thabo Mbheki speech. You can't help him, he speaks in an intellectual coded philosophical style. The reason many don't get him, only critical thinking people can listen. 1. His childhood story. There is subliminal messaging there about joining the struggle and the immediate need for advocacy within their reach. Their selective focus on what's feasible to act on and discipline. 2. The story about his father. Principles. 3. How he was sent off to study in England and he amphasised that he came back. He had many options to lead conglomerates as a banker, economist or what. He chose the struggle. 4 His presidency and what he meant by African Renaissance. How South Africa, babysitting these nations and expected to deliver not only words but money support and staff. 5. The last one strikes very hard. I cringed at the laughter of that incident with an office of the ANC that don't even know who Thabo Mbheki is. How the ANC has been infiltrated by the power hungry self interest motivated hijackers. That incident is telling a lot. Thabo Mbheki remains one of the principled leaders with strong values. ANC is beyond repair and it is just too much infiltrated by nefarious characters it will take its death to be restored to its former glory as movement for the people and by the people.

Nwele olude tat'uZizi. Umqweno wam ngewusidlalele ipiano uthi happy birthday kuwe. Ngente mini ndizakuculela. Njengokuba ungumculi. Ukhule ungakhokhobi tat'uZizi President
