MANDELA: HONORARY DOCTORATE, BANGKOK
I can think of no accolade better deserved by the people of South Africa, nor one more gladly accepted by me on their behalf, than one which celebrates freedom and peace. They, the people of South Africa, have done what the world thought impossible. But freedom, peace and equitable distribution of power are also essential conditions for the advancement of the world's developing countries. [highlighted result]

KASRILS: THE CAPE NAVAL COMMUNICATIONS CENTRE
1. The Cape Naval Communications Centre was originally commissioned 24 years ago, in March 1973. 15.

EDGE must encourage access and opportunities for women in the SMME sector so that these women can push back the frontiers of local economic development and community transformation. Only if we succeed in doing this can we claim that the SMME sector is a catalyst of transformation in KwaZulu-Natal. By identifying and developing the SMME sector within a local community, the EDGE initiative implies that local economic development is truly a community-driven process. [highlighted result]

In South Africa today, even if the death penalty were to be reintroduced, there will still be no effective deterrent to crime. All eleven judges of South Africa's Constitutional Court came to the same conclusion after thorough research and considerations, namely that the most effective deterrent to crime is an effective criminal justice system, coupled with a strategy to address the causes of crime. What is required in South Africa is a proper understanding of the national crime prevention ... [highlighted result]

MBEKI: CONFERENCE ON PARTNERSHIP AFRICA, SWEDEN
As everybody present at this important conference is aware, our own country, South Africa, has been characterised by deep divisions and conflict. The recognition of the inherently peaceful transition of South Africa to a stable, non-racial democracy, constituted a miracle. In this regard, again I believe it to be true that the construction and sustenance of a just a stable society in South Africa must continue to be based on the thesis that 'South Africa belongs to all who live in it'.

MBEKI: LAUNCH OF THE CULTURE OF LEARNING AND TEACHING CAMPAIGN
Students against management, management against staff and workers, students against students, students against the ministry of education and the government as a whole, leaders of institutions against the minister of education and his department - the list is endless. And in everyone of these situation, without exception, people exchange words, 'wounding words, words that reduce'. We cannot do that through the usage of dead words, words said without meaning and words without content. [highlighted result]

MBEKI: LAUNCH OF BUSINESS ARTS SOUTH AFRICA (BASA
I would like to welcome and thank our friends from Great Britain who helped us to get the point where, today, we participate in the launch of Business Arts South Africa (BASA). I think the Bible meant the same thing that Yeats celebrates in these lines- or rather, and to avoid the charge of sacrilege - Yeats understood what the Bible meant when it spoke of us standing in danger of losing our souls. The arts belong to that form and social existence which both the Bible and William Butler Yeats... [highlighted result]
