Johannesburg - Speakers at a religious ceremony in the Eastern Cape honouring President Thabo Mbeki, have called on him to stand for a third term as ANC president, SABC news reported on Saturday.
Mbeki was attending a religious ceremony in his honour at his family home at Ngcingwane village near Dutywa.
The house of traditional leaders said the body based its support for Mbeki's third term on steps he had taken to address issues affecting them.
Mbeki read from the Bible, choosing a passage from Samuel, thanking God for protecting him thus far.
Among those present were the Queen Mother and members of the Royal Bafokeng tribe, several traditional leaders and members of the Eastern Cape cabinet.
