The families who live in shacks with no running water, sanitation and electricity are a reminder that the past continues to haunt the present.
The children who sleep in the streets, reduced to begging to make a living, are a testimony to an unfinished job.
Our children are the rock on which our future will be built, our greatest asset as a nation.They will be the leaders of our country, the creators of our national wealth who care for and protect our people. There can be no keener revelation of a society’s soul than the way in which it treats its children. (10 December 1993)įew things make the life of a parent more rewarding and sweet as successful children. The children must, at last, play in the open veld, no longer tortured by the pangs of hunger or ravaged by the disease or threatened with the scourge of ignorance, molestation and abuse, and no longer required to engage in deeds whose gravity exceeds the demands of their tender years.
