Leaders in all spheres who are living with HIV should be encouraged, not coerced, to lead by example and disclose their HIV status.

We tried in our simple way to lead our life in a manner that may make a difference to those of others.

While poverty persists, there is no true freedom.

We understand and promote the notion that while children need to be guided they also have an entrenched right to be whatever they want to be and that they can achieve this only if they are given the space to dream and live out their dreams.

The anchor of all my dreams is the collective wisdom of mankind as a whole.

Our march to freedom is irreversible. We must not allow fear to stand in our way. Universal suffrage on a common voters' roll in a united, democratic and non-racial South Africa is the only way to peace and racial harmony.

I cannot and will not give any undertaking at a time when I, and you, the people, are not free. Your freedom and mine cannot be separated.
