Personally, I believe in self-determination, but in the context of one South Africa - so that my self-determination is based in this region, and with my people.

Well, surely, I am not in charge of South Africa.

We are here because we are determined to offer the people of the Western Cape choices which are long overdue.

AIDS is the biggest challenge, the major disaster facing this country and we would have wished for something more specific and far-reaching.

I rejected the armed struggle because, as a Christian, I am committed to a nonviolent and peaceful struggle. But people take their own initiatives, because it is a Lebanon type of situation here.

And the basis on which we agreed to operate with them involved a manifesto, where it states that we proceed from different ideologies and policies. One thing that we insisted on was that they should take an oath to reject racism and discrimination.

I have always believed in dialogue and in nonviolence, and if you look at my background you will see that it has always been my policy to talk to everyone.
