Extremists On All Sides Thrive, Fed By

Today We Are A Nation At Peace With Itself, United In Our Diversity, Not Only Proclaiming But Living Out The Contention That South Africa Belongs To All Who Live In It. We Take Our Place Amongst The Nations Of The World, Confident And Proud In Being An African Country.

It Is Not Our Diversity Which Divides Us; It Is Not Our Ethnicity, Or Religion Or Culture That Divides Us. Since We Have Achieved Our Freedom, There Can Only Be One Division Amongst Us: Between Those Who Cherish Democracy And Those Who Do Not.

We Forgive But Not Forgotten

Those South Africans Who Berate Me For Being Loyal To Our Friends, Literally They Can Go And Throw Themselves Into A Pool. I Am Not Going To Betray The Trust Of Those Who Helped Us.

No Form Of Violence Can Ever Be Excused In A Society That Wishes To Call Itself Decent
