A movement without vision would be a movement without moral foundation.

Whenever I am with energetic young people, I feel like a recharged battery.

It is the dictate of history to bring to the fore the kind of leaders who seize the moment, who cohere the wishes and aspirations of the oppressed. Such was Steve Biko, a fitting product of his time; a proud representative of the re-awakening of a people.

It is not where you start but how high you aim that matters for success.

We have laid the foundation for a better life. Things that were unimaginable a few years ago have become everyday reality. I belong to the generation of leaders for whom the achievement of democracy was the defining challenge.

If you don't allow people to contribute, to offer their point of view, or to criticize what has been put before them, then they can never like you. And you can never build that instrument of collective leadership.

If you are negotiating you must do so in a spirit of reconciliation, not from the point of view of issuing ultimatums.
