MR DE KLERK: LAST SPEECH TO PARLIAMENT
Die versoeking vir die persoon wat uittree is groot om 'n laaste magnus opus te probeer lewer. It was from this podium that I announced the release of President Nelson Mandela and the unbanning of the ANC and all other organisations. I miss the cut and thrust of the incisive debates which we used to have - pitting policy against policy and argument against argument. [highlighted result]

TUTU AND BORAINE MEETING WITH DE KLERK
Dr Alex Boraine and I met Mr F W de Klerk, leader of the National Party, for just over an hour at the offices of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission in Cape Town today. Mr de Klerk asked me for the meeting after controversy over the Steyn Report, and I insisted that Dr Boraine should be present. Mr de Klerk raised the issue of the Steyn Report only briefly before moving onto other issues, and I made clear to him that there is no difference in attitude between Dr Boraine and myself on the ...

MR DE KLERK: OPENING OF THE NP'S FEDERAL CONGRESS
Die jaar 1996 sal in die geskiedenis opgeteken word as 'n besondere jaar in die veelbewoe geskiedenis van die Nasionale Party. Die Nasionale Party, as die onbestwiste amptelike opposisie, sy aanslag - om weer die grootste Party in Suid-Afrika te word - begin. Dit is binne hierdie raamwerk dat die Nasionale Party die ANC tot by oom Daantjie in die kallerhok gaan opdons. [highlighted result]

Oorhoofs is ek trots op die bydrae wat die Nasionale Party se lede van die Kabinet kon maak. En, alhoewel my ANC-kollegas huiwerig mag wees om dit te erken, glo ek dat hulle aan die begin waardering gehad het vir die ervaring wat die Nasionale Party tot die Regering toegevoeg het. Ons doelwit is die verbreking van die huidige redelik rigiede etniese stempatrone en die herskikking van die Suid-Afrikaanse politiek op die basis van beleid, waardes en beginsels.

MR DE KLERK: WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM
However, all of my former interactions with your organisation have been from the perspective of government - either as President in the Pretoria-pre-1994 Government or more recently as Deputy President in the Government of National Unity. Also, the National Party's dual role as partner in the Government of National Unity and as the main opposition party was becoming more and more difficult to sustain. On the economy, we will urge the Government to adhere to the sound policies that we ... [highlighted result]

STATEMENT BY FW DE KLERK: TO WITHDRAW FROM GNU
The National Party decided at a meeting of its Federal Executive Committee this morning to withdraw from the Government of National Unity with effect from 30 June 1996. The National Party has felt for some time now that our influence within the Government of National Unity has been declining. The National Party's dual role as partner in the Government of National Unity and as the main opposition party has been difficult to sustain. [highlighted result]

DE KLERK: 4TH GULF ECONOMIC FORUM ANNUAL CONFERENCE
All of these factors make South Africa an important potential partner of the Gulf States. Exports from South Africa to the Gulf Region have grown from virtually nothing in 1991 to about $200 million in 1994. South Africa can become an alternative holiday option for tourists from the Gulf Region, including the large expatriate communities, to escape the summer heat of the region. [highlighted result]

DE KLERK: RDP INFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENT CONFERENCE
It is a great honour for me to be able to welcome you to this second day of the RDP Infrastructure Investment Conference. As the World Bank reported last year in a discussion paper on the South African economy, the productivity of capital is higher in the private sector than in parastatals. The Bank also pointed out that the redirection of capital stock away from the private sector towards parastatals had had a marked impact on GDP growth. [highlighted result]

'n Sleutelfaktor in hierdie positiewe verandering van ons ekonomiese vooruitsigte, was die vordering met betrekking tot die normalisering van ons samelewing. Staatsverbruiksbesteding staan tans op 20,5% van ons Bruto Binnelandse Produk - 'n syfer wat hoer is as die van die meeste Eerste W.ld lande en aansienlik hoer is as die 12 - 15% van baie van die middelinkomste lande waarmee ons meeding.

As the recent budget again shows, the Government of National Unity has, by and large, adopted and implemented such policies. As the South Africa Foundation pointed out in its recent proposals for the promotion of economic growth, the Government must do the right things across the board and not only in the sphere of macro-economic policy. The second question that will define the nature of the future South Africa is the current debate on whether South Africa will become a plural or a unitary ... [highlighted result]

DE KLERK: INAUGURATION OF THE HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSION
Dit is egter ook waar dat die fundamentele regte wat deur die regstaat beskerm word, dikwels uit verskeie oorde aangeval word. Daarom is een van die beginsels, wat ons nuwe handves ten grondslag le, die beperking van mag en die voorkoming van magsmisbruik. 'n Gedeelte van die funksies van die Menseregte-kommissie is om te verseker dat die fundamentele regte wat in ons handves vervat is, in die praktyk nagekom word - dat hulle 'n lewende en alomteenwoordige faset van ons daaglikse lewe word.

My Party and I are committed to making a success of the Government of National Unity in the spirit, and within the framework, prescribed by the Constitution. [highlighted result]

It was gratifying to note that according to the latest Micropal survey of emerging market equity funds, that there has been a strong inflow into Africa - mostly to South Africa. On a weighted country-by-country basis, South Africa had passed India to become the seventh favourite market of the 109 funds in the survey. One of their main concerns relates to future labour relations in South Africa. [highlighted result]

The cold and unacceptable truth is that the percentage of pregnant women in our country who are HIV-positive has risen to almost 10% - and that at some of our hospitals this figue exceeds 20%. The implications of these cold statistics are such that it already poses a catastrophe for our country.
