Our continent must be allowed to do its own things, charting its course and destiny.

It is time for the next generations to continue our struggle against social injustice and for the rights of humanity. It is in your hands.

There are many people in South Africa who are rich and who can share those riches with those not so fortunate who have not been able to conquer poverty.

I do not deny that I planned sabotage. I did not plan it in a spirit of recklessness nor because I have any love of violence. I planned it as a result of a calm and sober assessment of the political situation that had arisen after many years of tyranny, exploitation and oppression of my people by the whites.
