The youth of today are the leaders of tomorrow.

There is no such thing as part freedom.

Great peacemakers are all people of integrity, of honesty, but humility.

It is not our diversity which divides us; it is not our ethnicity, or religion or culture that divides us. Since we have achieved our freedom, there can only be one division amongst us: between those who cherish democracy and those who do not.

I appeal to the Youth and those on the ground: start talking to each other across divisions of race and political organizations.

We should never forget those on whose shoulders we stand and those who paid the supreme price for freedom.

Today we are a nation at peace with itself, united in our diversity, not only proclaiming but living out the contention that South Africa belongs to all who live in it. We take our place amongst the nations of the world, confident and proud in being an African country.
