QUOTE
•The ordinary people of the continent and
the world . . . if anyone cared to ask their
opinion, wish that the dispute about the primacy
of politics or science be put on the back burner
and that we proceed to address the needs and
concerns of those suffering and dying . . . .
History will judge us harshly if we fail to do
so now, and right now.•
•Nelson Mandela, at the 13th International AIDS
Conference

PRESIDENT THABO MBEKI SPEECH AT THE FREEDOM DAY
CELEBRATIONS 2008
"Related to this is the matter of
violence against women and children. Everyday
the media covers horrific stories of
ill-treatment, abuse, rape and violence against
women and children. Clearly, we cannot proudly
proclaim that we are a free nation while women
and children are, themselves, not free to enjoy
our freedom. To correct this, men have an
important role to play in advancing affirmative
social values and mending the social fabric that
is clearly been torn apart by the behaviour of
those who, in reality, are behaving like
animals. Men have an important message to give
to their compatriots that: "Real men do not
abuse".
