I Would Like It To Be Said:

A Real Leader Uses Every Issue, No Matter How Serious And Sensitive, To Ensure That At The End Of The Debate We Should Emerge Stronger And More United Than Ever Before.

The Challenge For Each One Of You Is To Take Up These Ideals Of Tolerance And Respect For Others And Put Them To Practical Use In Your Schools, Your Communities And Throughout Your Lives.

During The Years I Lived Here, The People Of Alexandra Ignored Tribal And Ethnic Distinctions. Instead Of Being Xhosas, Or Sothos, Or Zulus, Or Shangaans, We Were Alexandrans. We Were One People, And We Undermined The Distinctions That The Apartheid Government Tried So Hard To Impose. It Saddens And Angers Me To See The Rising Hatred Of Foreigners.

The Private Sector Granted Bursaries [scholarships] For The Children Of Their Workers. Some Of Them Built Homes For Their Workers. They Had In-service Training, Which Improved The Skills Of Their Workers. So That Spirit Was There. All We Did Was Merely Exploit It.

True Reconciliation Does Not Consist In Merely Forgetting The Past.
