I Am The Captain Of My Soul.

An Organisation Can Only Carry Out Its Mandate If There Is Discipline, And Where There Is No Discipline There Can Be No Real Progress

I Was Not A Messiah, But An Ordinary Man Who Had Become A Leader Because Of Extraordinary Circumstances.

I And Some Colleagues Came To The Conclusion That As Violence In This Country Was Inevitable, It Would Be Wrong And Unrealistic For African Leaders To Continue Preaching Peace And Non-violence At A Time When The Government Met Our Peaceful Demands With Force. It Was Only When All Else Had Failed, When All Channels Of Peaceful Protest Had Been Barred To Us, That The Decision Was Made To Embark On Violent Forms Of Political Struggle.

Our Freedom Is Also Incomplete, Dear Compatriots, As Long As We Are Denied Our Security By Criminals Who Prey On Our Communities, Who Rob Our Businesses And Undermine Our Economy, Who Ply Their Destructive Trade In Drugs In Our Schools, And Who Do Violence Against Our Women And Children.

Let Freedom Reign. The Sun Never Set On So Glorious A Human Achievement.
