    00.18.15 DOORSTOP: TRAINING VIDEO POLICE ..the Cabinet fully endorsed the positions that Minister Tshwete took. All of us were very shocked by these images.. How deeply entrenched racism is in this society.. It's a problem. It remains very deeply entrenched amongst sections of our population .. What I hope that what that video did was to say to all South Africans that when we raise the matter of the persistence & entrenched racism in this country, we are not playing politics - that this is a matter which is of the greatest importance and we have to address it. We can't leave it only as a Constitutional principle creating a non-racial SA must in practise in detail deal with this matter.
    00.20.12 There are people being abused on the farms every day .. Black professionals in private sector .. Otherwise you are going to get more and more documentaries which will demonstrate this kind of brutality
