Well, surely, I am not in charge of South Africa.
leader election monitoring
The candidates before you know that the IFP has set up a system of deployed IFP national and provincial leaders who are not only monitoring the performance of candidates during these elections but will also do so after these elections.

I have always believed in dialogue and in nonviolence, and if you look at my background you will see that it has always been my policy to talk to everyone.

I was proud to call Dr Rupert a friend. He was always a wonderful source of support and kindness.

And the basis on which we agreed to operate with them involved a manifesto, where it states that we proceed from different ideologies and policies. One thing that we insisted on was that they should take an oath to reject racism and discrimination.

AIDS is the biggest challenge, the major disaster facing this country and we would have wished for something more specific and far-reaching.

Others may make you promises, once again, and then election after election not deliver. We will not do this.

All of our forebears contributed to what South Africa has become. That does not, however, mean that I must apologize to anyone for being born a Zulu, or for having that culture.

My people have been sucked into the violence because some feel they have to retaliate, and some feel they have to protect themselves.

I am not the kind of leader who pontificates about what should be done - I don't operate on scenarios, and I am not a prophet.

Personally, I believe in self-determination, but in the context of one South Africa - so that my self-determination is based in this region, and with my people.

South Africa is blessed to have women and men like yourselves who have little to give but give what you have with open hands and open hearts.

You know, my real worry is that no government, no matter who is in charge, will be able to fulfill the expectations of the people.
