Tokyo Sexwale for President

Update: Tokyo has come out and denied his running for the presidency. Dammit. We can always hope can't we?Tokyo Sexwale has seemingly begun his approach of the presidency of South Africa. He has been noted to have approached both the Zuma and Mbeki camps for endorsements and will be seeking Nelson Mandela's endorsement to boost his campaign.The Sunday Times has reported the full story with many other newswires picking up the feed. This seems to be an extremely interesting move by Mr. Sexwale. I personally never believed that he would make the move from business back in to government after his departure in 1997. I always thought that he was making enough money and controlled enough power to avoid the political pull that the ANC might offer him.I have personally had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Sexwale as his son was at my School, St David's Marist Brothers, Inanda. I would vote for him, I would vote against Zuma and I think that most people would do the same.I do think that Zuma, if he won the presidency, would be an interim president until a more suitable president could be found. With Sexwale involved now, I think that we have found a better candidate.
