T Mbeki: Reply to debate on The Presidency Dept Budget Vote 2005/2006
Hon leaders of our political parties and Members of Parliament, Ministers, Deputy Ministers, distinguished guests, friends and comrades, yesterday we celebrated Africa Day. This is part of the process of building a prosperous South Africa, which is an inherent part of the South Africa that belongs to all of you and all who live in it, united in their diversity.

E Pahad: The Presidency Dept Budget Vote 2005/2006
To equate apartheid South Africa with post-apartheid free and democratic South Africa is a sham and a calumny. The Office on the Status of Disabled Persons (OSDP) continues to coordinate and monitor the implementation of the Integrated National Disability Strategy and South Africa is host to the Secretariat for the African Decade for Disabled People. Our government continues to work tirelessly for a better South Africa, a better Africa and a better world. [highlighted result]

J Zuma: The Presidency Dept Budget Vote 2005/2006
Madam Speaker, Honourable Members, the promotion of social cohesion also involves strengthening the social fabric of our society. Madam Speaker, the Freedom Charter proclaims that 'The People Shall Share in the Country's Wealth! This is borne out by the magnitude of government expenditure in implementing our Comprehensive HIV and AID Care, Management and Treatment Plan. [highlighted result]

T Mbeki: The Presidency Dept Budget Vote 2005/2006
Recognising the critical importance of this issue, the World Bank devoted its 1997 World Development Report to the topic, 'The State in a Changing World'. Our own support for Africa's process of renewal means that we must develop the skill and sensitivity to work with our sister African countries to achieve such social and national cohesion in all the countries of Africa. This underlines the importance of the Constitutive Act of the AU and the New Partnership for Africa's Development (... [highlighted result]
