Could it be...

...that the next time the elections roll around, we could be voting for a woman to be president.

Thabo keeps upping the ante! Now if he'd only up his quiet diplomacy on Zim to a little bit of a whisper...

I agree that we should not vote in a woman for the sake of her gender. But if she's as un-corrupt as all the media reports are saying, it might become a reality. And we could really call ourselves the most progressive nation in Africa. Then it'll be sorry for you Nigeria, Kenya and Egypt - our president will have a woman's sensibility, and maybe issues like maternal mortality and HIV/AIDS will be addressed instead of ignored (and only responded to under immense pressure).

Sigh, we can dream.
