Government won't quit - Mbeki

Pretoria - The present South African government will serve out its term, President Thabo Mbeki said on Friday.
"I have no reason to assume that there would be anything that would stop the government serving the full term for which it was elected," he told reporters in Pretoria.
Mbeki said the relationship between the government and the African National Congress would carry on as usual.
"(Zuma) said nothing would happen as indeed nothing will happen as a consequence of the elections."
Mbeki was speaking at his official residence a day after the closing of the ANC's national conference in Polokwane that saw Jacob Zuma toppling him as party president.
At the conference, Zuma said in his first public speech that relations between the ANC and government would continue to run smoothly.
