N Botha: Launch of Gamohle/National Archives Oral History Project
Charlotte Maxeke led the formation of the earliest political organisation of African women, the Bantu Women's League, regarded as the forerunner to the ANC Women's League. The launch of the ANC Defiance Campaign in 1952 also gave further impetus to women's struggles, culminating in the formation of the Federation of South African Women (FEDSAW) and the adoption of the Women's Charter in 1954. I am happy to launch the gaMohle / National Archives Oral History Project on the 1956 Women's ... [highlighted result]

The opening of the Learners Resource Centre Swahili Towns and Trade exhibition today is a plausible effort to bring the Natal Museum closer to the people.

N Botha: Opening ceremony of Outward Bound International Convention
Many of you probably know the history of Outward Bound International much better than I. You will recall that Outward Bound International took a decision of great moral consciousness not operate in South Africa during the apartheid years when the people of this country were living under the most brutal discriminatory and oppressive laws. I am sincerely appreciative of the work that Outward Bound is doing in South Africa. I have noted with appreciation that Outward Bound is already partnering ... [highlighted result]

E Rasool: Service Excellence Awards
Apartheid has not only deprived our people of resources - of houses, of health facilities, of education, and so on - but apartheid has also broken our people. We don't only face the challenge of quality service delivery, but we also face the challenge that with every act of service delivery we also need to restore the dignity of our people because, had apartheid simply taken resources from some people and accumulated it amongst other people, maybe it would have been an easy task to just ...

We welcomed the attempts by President Abbas to form a Government of National Unity in Palestine between Fatah and Hamas. The South African Government has called on both Fatah and Hamas to end the rivalry between them and seek a means of governing the Palestinian people that will address the... [highlighted result]

D Hanekom: Awards ceremony of Academy of Science of South Africa
Our National Science Academy, the Academy of Science of South Africa (ASSAf), consciously and deliberately made two critical choices when it was first established in 1996. Inclusiveness as a design approach can prove problematic in a society where the word "science" still has many different connotations, especially in school settings where learners take "science" (Physical Science) as a subject which includes only physics and chemistry. The ASSAf/ Third World Academy of Science /Department of... [highlighted result]

B Mabandla: Konrad Adenauer Foundation Rule of Law Conference
The principle of separation of powers, while not clearly spelled out in the final South African constitution, has been tacitly incorporated in our constitution, and underlies the South African constitutional order. State power is devolved among these three branches of government, namely the legislature, the executive and the judiciary. The doctrine of separation of powers prevents the concentration of power in one body. [highlighted result]

B Mabandla: Association for Advancement of Black Insolvency Practitioners annual banquet
Linked to the focus on liquidation instead of saving businesses, government continues to receive reports of various undesirable practices in the insolvency industry. These are instances where insolvency practitioners, attorneys, creditors and debtors collude to initiate insolvency proceedings with devastating impact on the rights of, for example, workers. We continue to receive reports of allegations that some of the black insolvency practitioners that are appointed as liquidators, pass over ... [highlighted result]

In conclusion, from the first exploratory meeting convened by Minister Mabandla back in December 2004, we have urged the legal practitioners to take the lead in the transformation and the development of a charter for the sector.

Ladies and gentlemen, the third aspect of transformation namely of the procedures, processes, rules (and structures) of our justice system seems to get forgotten all the time. However, the transformation processes have to permeate not only aspects of diversity and the value system of our society but also the structures, processes, rules and the procedures of the legal system. Therefore, at the Legal Services Charter Indaba there was consensus that the legal services sector requires an ... [highlighted result]
