It Is Difficult To Discuss...

We Have Been Engaging The Government Of Swaziland For Some Time On This Issue Of The Democratization Of Swaziland. In Particular, I Had Asked The Deputy President To Engage The Government On This And, Indeed, He Has. We Will Continue To Do This, Because We Do Think That, As Has Been Communicated To The Government Of Swaziland, That Swaziland Must Go Through This Democratization Process, A Constitution-making Process In Which They Have Been Engaged For Some Time, And Really Seek A National Consensus About It.

Certainly The Government Has Tried To Handle The Matter Of Our Relations With The Rest Of The Continent In A Very Sensitive Manner.

I Think The Critical Point, Really, Is That We Need To Focus Black Economic Empowerment More On The Creation Of New Wealth Rather Than On These Big Deals That Have Been Characteristic Of This Process In The Past, Of People Going To Banks, Borrowing A Lot Of Money, Buying This And When The Shares Don't Perform Very Well, The Shares Go Back To The Banks, Because There's Other People Who Own This Anyway. I Think We Need To Re-focus It So That It Really Does Impact On Growth, New Investment, New Employment And A General, Better Spread Of Wealth In South Africa.

South Africa Belongs To All Who Live In It, Black And White.

There Is A Very Long List Of Parties In This Year's Election, Some Of The Parties I Have Never Heard Of.
