Chair, Chief Justice, premiers, hon members, colleagues, friends and family, I would also like to take this opportunity, on behalf of the Free State delegates, to congratulate you on your nomination as Chairperson. This shows that the ANC has confidence in you that you will be able to push through all that we have committed to in our manifesto. I would further like to welcome our fellow colleagues from the Free State to Cape Town. It is a cold and exciting city. I hope you will find it very interesting. However, our core function here as delegates is to make sure that the executive is accountable and to make sure that our people lead a better life and that we bring about a better life for all our people in South Africa especially in the Free State as the Free State delegates.
As the people have spoken, we know there are ideological differences, but we know which processes to put in place. However, we might differ on the technicalities and implementation. Chair, with these few words, I would like to congratulate you and welcome all hon members. Thank you. [Applause.]
