DEPUTY PRESIDENT J ZUMA'S MESSAGE ON RAMADAAN
Muslims throughout South Africa are about to begin the holy month of Ramadaan. These thirty days of fasting are, as we understand it, a period not only about abstention from food and drink, but also a time of deep spiritual rejuvenation and awakening. Fellow South African Muslims, I strongly believe that the positive benefits that you derive from the holy month of Ramadaan help us all tremendously in our quest for nation building, peace and reconciliation in the next millennium.

J ZUMA: SOUTHERN AFRICA TRADE & INVESTMENT SUMMIT - MAPUTO
HIV/AIDS is a problem in South Africa as in any other country. European countries are a classic example of countries that have reached a mature level of development and have strong labour organisations. The economic development of South Africa, of SADC and of Africa will therefore not benefit us alone, but Europe and the world as it will foster social stability, peace and economic growth.

Existing economic organisations in Africa, such as ECOWAS in West Africa and SADC in the South to name a few, can begin to explore the possibility of co-operation amongst all African countries for the betterment of the continent.
