When the history of our times is written, will we be remembered as the generation that turned our backs in a moment of global crisis or will it be recorded that we did the right thing?

The history of struggle is rich with stories of heroes and heroines - some of them leaders, some of them followers, all of them deserve to be remembered.

The titanic effort that has brought liberation to South Africa, and ensured the total liberation of Africa, constitutes an act of redemption for the black people of the world.

I never think of the time I have lost. I just carry out a programme because it's there. It's mapped out for me.

Only through hardship, sacrifice and militant action can freedom be won. The struggle is my life. I will continue fighting for freedom until the end of my days.

There are times when a leader must move out ahead of the flock, go off in a new direction, confident that he is leading his people the right way.

Let us join hands and build a truly South African nation.
