    12.44.53 MANDELA SPEECH ...when I was in prison,ì
    we were isolated from one another. I was in aì
    section where we were about 20 & the majority ofì
    the prisoners, close to a 1000 were in anotherì
    section & they did not allow us to meet. After Iì
    spent 6 years on the island, I met in the Adminì
    offices, a prisoner from the other section & heì
    then said to me: Who are you?...Where do you comeì
    from?...What organisation do you belong to?...
    How long have you been here?...he was beginning toì
    walk away. I then ask, Now who are you?...to whichì
    organisation do you belong? He said the ANC.ì
    [LAUGHTER]
    12.46.39 I had been on the island for 6 years heì
    had been there for 5 years; he had never heard ofì
    me & that is why I take exception to the fact thatì
    the MC has not introduced me [LAUGHTER]
    12.47.40 ...it is with great pride & optimism thatì
    I stand before you today...
    12.49.26 ...we have started bnuilding the processì

    the ANC is honest enough to acknowledge that moreì
    could have been done.
    12.51.36 The local gorv elections give us a chanceì
    to put this right. We inherited a system whereì
    there was no infrastructure in regard toì
    services...
    12..53.50 ...by voting in the November elections
    every local community will get a voice in gorv. Atì
    last communities will have the power to work withì
    the ANC-lead national gorv to make the RDP workì
    for them...
    12.55.18 ...when you choose your candidates, theyì
    should be people you can rely on. They must beì
    people who understand your problems,care aboutì
    your future & know how to listen...

    they do not deserve the position of leadership inì
    your community...
