I Have Been Influenced In My Thinking

Those South Africans Who Berate Me For Being Loyal To Our Friends, Literally They Can Go And Throw Themselves Into A Pool. I Am Not Going To Betray The Trust Of Those Who Helped Us.

History And The Generations To Come Will Judge Our Leaders By The Decisions They Make In The Coming Weeks.

Good Men And Women Can Be Mobilized To Ensure That South Africa Is United And That The Spirit Of Reconciliation Is Strengthened And That Progress In This Country Takes Place As Fast As It Can.

Ethiopia Always Has A Special Place In My Imagination And The Prospect Of Visiting Ethiopia Attracted Me More Strongly Than A Trip To France, England, And America Combined. I Felt I Would Be Visiting My Own Genesis, Unearthing The Roots Of What Made Me An African.

When I Walked Out Of Prison, That Was My Mission, To Liberate The Oppressed And The Oppressor Both.
