Mandela: Public statement on HIV vaccine
Government showed its commitment to this in 1999 by establishing and funding the South African AIDS Vaccine Initiative (SAAVI) as a national public-private partnership with Eskom. The South African AIDS Vaccine Initiative plays an immensely important role in co-ordinating HIV vaccine research, development and testing in our country. The South African AIDS Vaccine Initiative is developing novel HIV test vaccines both locally and in collaboration with international agencies. [highlighted result]

Mandela: Funeral service of Walter Sisulu
And how can we speak about this great unifier of people without recognising and honouring that great unity in his own life: that of Walter and Albertina as a marital couple, a unity of such deep friendship and mutual respect, a personal and political partnership that transcended and survived all hardships, separations and persecution. And if our nation has to take an example for its own future together, where better than to look to the family that Walter and Albertina nurtured, held together ... [highlighted result]

Mandela: Opening of WaterDome, WSSD
And it is together with my two "water friends", His Royal Highness the Prince of Orange and His Excellency Ambassador Salim Ahmed Salim, that I stand here in front of you for the opening of the WaterDome. My young friend here, His Royal Highness the Prince of Orange, is doing excellent work to keep the focus on water - amongst others as chair of the 2nd World Water Forum in The Hague two years ago and with his excellent paper 'No Water No Future', prepared for Secretary-General Kofi Annan. ...

Mandela: National Civil Society Conference
As we advance the process of fundamentally transforming our society away from it's divided past, we need to tap into the energies of all sectors of our society. This conference represents one such attempt to explore the breadth and depth of transformational energies residing in that sector called civil society. What I do wish to say is that we cannot approach the subject of civil society from the point of view that government represents an inherent negative force in society; and that civil ...

MANDELA: LAUNCH OF FINAL REPORT OF WORLD COMMISSION ON DAMS
It is a privilege to receive this Report, Dams and Development: A New Framework for Decision-Making. During my life, and legal career, I devoted almost no time or attention to impacts of large dams. I now think of it in the context of the extremely short life of World Commission on Dams. [highlighted result]

MANDELA: CLOSING ADDRESS AT 13TH INTERNATIONAL AIDS CONFERENCE
HIV/Aids is having a devastating impact on families, communities, societies and economies. The experience in a number of countries has taught that HIV infection can be prevented through investing in information and life skills development for young people. Stigma and discrimination can be stopped; new infections can be prevented; and the capacity of families and communities to care for people living with HIV and AIDS can be enhanced.

MANDELA: LUNCHEON IN HONOUR OF MUAMAR QADDAFI
The relationship between our two selves and between Libya and democratic South Africa has not been without controversy and therefore some special significance in world affairs. When we dismissed criticism of our friendship with yourself, My Brother Leader, and of the relationship between South Africa and Libya, it was precisely in defence of those values. It was pure expediency to call on democratic South Africa to turn its back on Libya and Qaddafi, who had assisted us in obtaining democracy... [highlighted result]

MANDELA: NATIONAL AWARDS CEREMONY
For five years now, for the first time in the history of our country, we could justly say that the people governed. In these first years of freedom our country, our government and our people have faced enormous challenges and problems. Our successful second democratic elections demonstrated once more the strength of our nationhood and the depth of our people's commitment to democracy. [highlighted result]

The reports allege that the President has repudiated or contradicted the Deputy President by saying that he did not believe that police were involved in killing other policemen. The views of the President and the Deputy President are the same on this matter. Both President Mandela and Deputy President Mbeki have always paid tribute to the overwhelming majority of the members of the SAPS who carry their duties out with distinction. [highlighted result]

The President learnt with a deep sense of shock of the death of Zac de Beer. On behalf of the government and himself personally, the President would like to convey condolences to the family. The nation is the poorer of the loss of one who proved himself a principled opponent of apartheid, and who then as our Ambassador, helped democratic South Africa establish itself as a member of the community of free nations.

Each one involves a relationship between peoples, in this case the people of South Africa and the people of China. Each occasion expresses an affinity between ideals, such as those of the tradition of learning embodied in Beijing University, and the people of South Africa's quest for justice and freedom. Each occasion is a tribute to the people of South Africa for their achievement in making a reality of shared principles and ideals. [highlighted result]

Amongst other things that common context leads us to welcome the ties of trade and investment that have been growing since South Africa achieved its freedom.
