Report from South Africa says former President Thabo Mbeki is dead.
Aged 74, Mbeki was rushed to the hospital on Tuesday morning during a brief illness, and was pronounced dead by the doctors.
According to Kanempress, Mbeki’s family said the former president had complained about his heart at dawn before being rushed to the hospital.
“We are in shock. He was full of life last night, but this dawn all that he could say was his heart and we rushed him to the hospital but couldn’t make it,” a close family member said.
ANC’s chieftain, Khusela Sangoni, said:”The whole ANC are mourning. He was full of life days ago. He even talked to us about the LGE before we went to the polls. We are in total shock.”
The late Thabo Mbeki had been President of South Africa for nine years as the second post-apartheid leader, taking over the legend, the late Nelson Mandela, the first post-apartheid black President.
