Our mission as the ANC is clear: We want to build a united country. We want to reconcile our people and we believe that this is one of the instruments that we can pursue in doing so. However, once more, we also want to build a national democratic society. That society will be characterised by a nonsexist outlook. If you look to my right, you will see the state that we seek to build. That state will also be nonracial in character, the opposite of what I see on my left.
The ANC is a party that can be trusted. We were trusted since 1912, when we said to our people that we will return the land back to them. They trusted us in 1955 when we said, "The land shall be shared amongst those who work it." They trusted us in 1994, when we said, "Elect us into power; we will help you and move with you towards a national democratic society. I have spoken about. They trusted us in 1996 when we adopted the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa. We will be here tomorrow as we have been here yesterday and today, leading our people. Thank you very much.
