At the inauguration, we said that this must be seen as a defining moment for our young nation, a nation that is facing enormous challenges, but a nation that consists of 57 million people who stood up over the years and defeated one of the most terrible systems ever put together by human beings: apartheid; a nation of people with courage, a nation of people who have great commitment. We are the 57 million South Africans who refused to give in, who determined that we were going to change our lives and our country for the better, and this is the moment where we are now. [Applause.] We also said that this was the moment at which, through our actions: Now, we will be able to determine our destiny.
