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.

In Hanover Park they highlighted the terrible plight of backyard dwellers and the fact that year after year nothing has been done to help you: the hope and despair you all live with every day.

The politics of the Cape Town Metro, which allows an executive Mayoral committee to make secret decisions which affect you, behind closed doors, is wrong!

Others may make you promises, once again, and then election after election not deliver. We will not do this.

I was proud to call Dr Rupert a friend. He was always a wonderful source of support and kindness.
