“Having been in the presidency from the time of Mandela to that of Zuma, I am one of the privileged few who has seen it all, rather than hearing it via the grapevine. The challenge is say 'the things I could not say' in a responsible way that helps the country to move forward rather than backwards.”

“People wo are privileged tend to take their privilege for granted. South Africans are no exception in this regard. We take for granted the extraordinary struggle our people waged to establish the country and democracy we have today. We also forget that our struggle was waged on such high moral ground that it led to the development of a unique cadre of leaders whose concern was for the people and the country rather than for themselves, their families, factions and friends.”

Haven't tried it out yet but it'll be interesting if she's better at those street names. Garmin voices vpm files for garmin Does anyone have sound issue on the the nuvi 3597,is the sound muted on it every time it wakes from sleep mode, i have never had this on any of my other nuvi,s it does this all the time even though i do not have automatic sound and mute checked in settings,when i press the button for sound it shows the slider all the way across and i have to slide it part way back to get the sound back on, would appreciate if you can let me know if this is normal for this unit, as i sent the first 3597 back as i thought it was a fault only to find the new unit does the same thing,thanks.

Frank Chikane has taken a brave and commendable step in documenting the events of the week leading up to, as well as the immediate aftermath of the removal of Thabo Mbeki as South Africa's state President. In many respects, South Africans in general needed an insider's perspective of what happened on that fateful and frightful week when the ruling party eventually and angrily turned on one of its own - a long serving member and dedicated cadre who previously served as deputy president to Nelson..more
Not what I expected: more information on the constitutional issues around Pres. Mbeki's removal than I was aware of - which was good and also re-iterated the importance of separation of party and state. It was a lovely eulogy to the presidency of Thabo Mbeki. However I have two complaints: firstly I felt that it could have benefited from a tighter edit - there was so much repetition and the structure gave the impression of being written in bits for various publications or uses. The space saved c..more
I probably expected too much from this book, bit it is as if a long newspaper article has been dragged out to turn it into a book. There is far too much repitition and disclaimers. Half of the book is about Chikane explaining why he can't write about certain things, well then rather not write a book. Though I think highly of Chikane and I'll try his other book.
Although this book could not elucidate fully on the politics of the recall nor on the nature of Thabo Mbeki's state of mind at the time, it has restored my belief that Mr Mbeki was a worthy President that did not deserve the treatment he received. That being said I think his aloofness and perhaps perceived unwillingness to suffer fools is what may well have been his achilles heel. I am certain now that without him and his style of government we may well have found ourselves in a far worse situat..more
A good synopsis of South Africa's constitution, with respect to the presidency, and governance across the African continent. Given the title of the book, was expecting a lot more detail/scoop on what actually happened during the time Mbeki was removed from office. Without taking away the subject matter and content, more so the fact that it captures the African continent and not just SA, elaborating on the SA constritution and governance overshadows the title, perhaps an alternative title would h..more
Disappointed in that I took up book thinking I would learn about Thabo Mbeki from Frank's eyes but it was more about Frank himself & how he tries to explain how important & grand his role was in ANC.
I suspect, he thought if he did not write this, his story would never be told.
The book didn't live up to the hype. I found it one sided; a praise to former president Mbeki. In truth, I hated it. I feel the title should have been 'An Ode to President Thabo Mbeki'. I'm glad I didn't buy it.
I liked this book only because it gave me an insider's perspective on those couple of days events. More about Chikane than anyone else but still helpful none the less.

Insider perspective...the other-side that the normal public would not have ordinarily been privy to. An absolute 'must read'..
I bought this book, because of the title. I m not into politics but the removal of President Thabo Mbeki got me hooked. Quiet interesting.
This book took me back to a bitter sweet motherland and made this one big statement: 'Africa will one day (soon) regain it's position of the pinnacle 'nation' it was ordained to be, and it is every African's responsibility to play their part, however small, to make that day come sooner than later!' Here is a great place to start: Do whatever you are doing the very best way you can and with the highest level of integrity- a great lesson from former president Thabo Mbeki.
I recommend this book to y..more
Though some of the issues leading up to the removal of Thabo Mbeki was highlighted in the media, the intention of reading this book was to get more accurate information. The title yells 'DETAILS TO BE FOUND INSIDE' but what I found inside did not live up to my expectation.
I found this book somewhat disappointing - not least because it didn't really tell me what I wanted to know about the 'recall' of Thabo Mbeki. Some good points - the ex-post revisionism that downplayed all of the economic achievements of the Mbeki years (as if to suggest that there was nothing apart from mass discontent), as well as the questionable constitutionality of the recall itself. But who was ultimately responsible? The book hints that foreign powers may have been involved - analogies ar..more
I have to qualify the three stars: The other two are not there, because
1. I don't like politics.
2. I don't like politics.
So three stars is the best that any political book would score with me.
That said: This is a really scary book that I think should be read by every South African.
On the one hand, it was a bit tedious at times, but on the other, I can understand why Rev Chikane wanted to say the same things over and over again. He had to cover himself from every side.
Reverend, I have the utmost..more
Eight Days in September is a very biased recollection of the last days of Thabo Mbeki as president of South Africa.
The story is told by one of Mbeki's most trusted men, Rev Frank Chikane; frankly speaking the book sings praises of Mbeki and paints everyone that opposed him as evil.
A great insider account of events we would otherwise have ever known of. Worth a read, yet with an open mind.

OK, technically I only got to 81% of this book on my Kindle. It sucked the life out of me! This must be the most boring book I've ever read. Frank Chikane had the opportunity to really give the reader some behind-the-scenes and never-before revealed glimpses of working in the presidency during this time of turmoil. Instead he chose to focus on singing Thabo Mbeki's praise and repeating the known and obvious - ad nauseam! Not a good read at all..

Eight Days In September The Removal Of Thabo Mbeki Pdf


FC gave us a brilliant but less detailed view of the removal of TM and understanding the government process and what differentiates parliament, the Constitution and the ruling party, ANC. It's an interesting book to read..not so easy to read but definitely 'difficult to put it down' kind of a book.
Brilliant insight into the saga surrounding the removal of TM. Only wish that the book was written during the time when one info was declassified, until such time we will never know why TM was removed..only speculation.
Whilst it covered the essentials, it spent too much time embroidering the key details and I found the book unnecessarily long and a bit tedious, which explains why I read other books during this read.

After reading this book I lost respect for leaders I have held in high regard. I wish more insight into the decision making of South Africa's government could be written about with such passion for the country. Albeit at great personal cost.
Once you start reading this book you can't put it down.

Insider story was good, very biased but at least we have an idea of what happended in Polokwane.
Difficult going, but am glad, as an African Renaissance enthusiast, to understand more about Mbeki, his thinking, and also to have a fresh look at some South African undercurrents. Not an easy read!
A good read! I wish more was to be revealed as to who indeed was behind the former president's removal.
