The problem is not a lack of understanding of what we are saying and doing; the problem is difference of opinion about what to do.

The question arose, how would the communities manage this land on their own. That's why the Communal Land Rights Bill then borrows an institution that is set up in terms of the role and function and powers of the institutional traditional leadership ( borrows that committee and uses that committee).

The engagements with the International Investment Council have developed in a very interesting way. It is, again, the point I raised at the beginning.

As Africans, we need to share common recognition that all of us stand to lose if we fail to transform our continent.

Historically during the years of the White minority regimes, the State, the national Government held this land in trust for these communities. We said, but no, why should we do that ( return the land to the communities). We didn't say return the land to particular traditional leaders, but to the communities.

We were asked to host the Pan African Parliament and we agreed to this.

Whoever we may be, whatever our immediate interest, however much we carry baggage from our past, however much we have been caught by the fashion of cynicism and loss of faith in the capacity of the people, let us err today and say - nothing can stop us now!
