In doing so, let me address one key issue that the hon Mazosiwe addressed. Notwithstanding the fact that elections are coming up, and notwithstanding the fact that we all have to engage in some form of political polemic, it is absolutely crucial that the first line of the Freedom Charter is always remembered: "South Africa belongs to all who live in it, black and white."
It is absolutely crucial that at a sensitive time like this we do not abuse statements made in very different and particular contexts to inspire fear, uncertainty and insecurity. This is a time when we need to unite everybody in this country and agree that elections will come and go. We should actually establish certain conventions about what we can and should do in elections and what we shouldn't and can't do in elections.
We cannot politic with the lives of people and we cannot politic with the security and welfare of people. These are real people with real families, real concerns and real aspirations for the future of their children as well. Whichever political party we belong to, let's make sure that our convention in South Africa says, "Let's not use race as a factor." Thank you very much. [Applause.]
