Whatever did he mean?

This interesting tidbit caught my eye:

The ANC's Eastern Cape leadership has renewed its call for President Thabo Mbeki to stand for a third term as party leader. Provincial chairperson Stone Sizani asked the crowd at the opening of the party's provincial office in King William's Town on Friday what it was Mbeki needed to do. Some within the crowd responded eagerly by holding three fingers in the air - representing three terms as ANC president. The crowd roared with support when Mbeki responded humorously in isiXhosa that he had 10 fingers, not only three.

Nice to see our President has a sense of humour. Or was he suggesting that he wanted ten terms as ANC President?
