Google says it's Mbeki:



President Mbeki was born on June 18, 1942 in the Eastern Cape Province, South Africa. He joined the African National Congress (ANC) Youth league in 1956 at the age of 14 and left South Africa for exile in 1962.
Mr. Mbeki read Economics at Sussex University in England up to master’s level. Thereafter, he underwent military training in the then Soviet Union. On completion, he joined the ANC Headquarters in Lusaka, Zambia where he remained until 1990 when the ANC was unbanned. Mr. Mbeki has been a member of the ANC National Executive Committee (NEC) since 1975.
He was appointed Deputy President of South Africa in 1994 and twice elected President in 1999 and 2004.

Without Google I don't think that we would have been able to resolve it ;-)

I hope that there will be a new one of some kind. More fun than guessing camps --00--
