Alive and well. That was the verdict from the Thabo Mbeki Foundation about the health status of the former president of South Africa.
Mbeji is not the youngest South African out there, and since he is a notable figure – a former president – there is great interest in his health status not just among South Africans but within government circles as well.
So when word starting spreading out there that the former president was in poor health, many were concerned. And since he wasn’t, his foundation, which has been his primary focus since leaving power, had to issue a statement to clarify issues.
In a statement on its official X account, the Thabo Mbeki Foundation thanked members of the public for their concern about the health status of the former president, affirming he is okay.
Interestingly, for whatever reason, the foundation later deleted the tweet, which left South Africans with even more questions about the initial rumours. Well, the coming days should provide for answers to the question.
Mbeki was part of the anti-apartheid struggles that eventually led to the demise of apartheid rule in SOuth Africa. He is also one of South Africa’s most loved presidents, guiding the current leaders on the way forward.
