South Africans must recall the terrible past so that we can deal with it, forgiving where forgiveness is necessary but never forgetting.

We need a fundamental change of mindset with regards to the way we speak and behave about sex and sexuality. Boys and men have a particularly critical role in this regard, changing the chauvinist and demeaning ways sexuality and women were traditionally dealt with in both our actions and speaking.

The youth of today are the leaders of tomorrow.

As long as women are bound by poverty and as long as they are looked down upon, human rights will lack substance.

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.

I have often wondered whether a person is justified in neglecting his own family to fight for opportunities for others.

I can't help it if the ladies take note of me; I am not going to protest.
