Above all, we owe it to the children of the world to stop the conflicts and to create new horizons for them.

I played an integral part in helpings formulating that new vision... that we must abandon apartheid and accept one united South Africa with equal rights for all, with all forms of discrimination to be scrapped from the statute book.

You cannot say we are a healthy, dynamic democracy when one party wins almost two-thirds of the vote.

When I talk about the end of apartheid, I prefer not to claim the honor that I have ended it.
