I Am The Captain Of My Soul.

I Enjoyed The Discipline And Solitariness Of Long-distance Running, Which Allowed Me To Escape From The Hurly-burly Of School Life.

My Dream Would Be A Multicultural Society, One That Is Diverse And Where Every Man, Woman And Child Are Treated Equally. I Dream Of A World Where All People Of All Races Work Together In Harmony.

The Anchor Of All My Dreams Is The Collective Wisdom Of Mankind As A Whole.

I Stand Here Before You Not As A Prophet, But As A Humble Servant Of You, The People.

The Time Will Come When Our Nation Will Honour The Memory Of All The Sons, The Daughters, The Mothers, The Fathers, The Youth And The Children Who, By Their Thoughts And Deeds, Gave Us The Right To Assert With Pride That We Are South Africans, That We Are Africans, And That We Are Citizens Of The World.
