Hon Speaker, we need to understand that we have embarked on a journey, a journey which started 25 years ago; and this journey is a long journey, it's not going to be completed overnight. And it involves understanding one another, being able to be aware of the concerns of all of us and embracing one another as one nation.
We come from different histories, we come from different parts of the country, but the beauty that we have as South Africans is that we are diverse and we've got beauty in our diversity and
that is what distinguishes us from any other nation in the whole world, and this is what we must uphold. And it is clearly well- articulated in our Constitution.
So, that is how we need to move forward but at the same time we must be transformative in what we do and reject those things that come from the past that seek to divide us and take us backwards. Thank you very much, hon Speaker. [Applause.]
