Johannesburg, October 05, SPA -- Two weeks after former South Africanpresident Thabo Mbeki was forced by his party to resign, his oustercontinued to make waves Sunday, with respected Anglican ArchbishopDesmond Tutu threatening to boycott upcoming general elections overthe move, according to dpa. "I would be sufficiently unhappy not to vote," the Nobel PeacePrize laureate and renowned anti-apartheid activist told the SundayTimes, South Africa's biggest selling newspaper, in an interview. Mbeki stepped down on September 21 at the demand of the rulingAfrican National Congress (ANC) following a court ruling inferring hemeddled in the prosecution of ANC leader Jacob Zuma. ANC deputy leader Kgalema Motlanthe was elected by parliament tosucceed Mbeki until general elections slated for April or May. Tutu slammed the party's decision to issue Mbeki with his marchingpapers six months before the end of his presidency as "unnecessary"and vengeful. The 76-year-old clergyman and former post-Apartheid truthcommission chairman said he would not participate in the electionunless there were attempts at healing the divisions within the ANCbetween Zuma and Mbeki loyalists. Although Motlanthe and Zuma have both called for party members toput aside their differences, disgruntled Mbeki loyalists and thepro-Zuma ANC leadership are still at each other's throats. --SPA www.spa.gov.sa/595424
