    14.36.20 ...without peace you cannot have properì
    education...
    14.37.17 Kwazulu-Natal's youth should join handsì
    to promote free political activity, to fosterì
    political tolerance, to condemn and remove no-goì
    areas...
    14.38.14 ...I remain firm in my commitment to stopì

    does honour to our boys who are playing Franceì
    tomorrow...our boys are well-trained, wellì
    motivated and they themselves are looking forwardì
    to the match....I have no doubt that they areì
    going to do to the French tomorrow what they didì
    to the Australians. I ask you all to stand behindì
    them tomorrow because they are our pride. They areì
    your pride. The days when there was discriminationì
    in sport...has put an end to that...
    14.52.37...tomorrow our prayers should be for theì
    Springboks because we want to bring back that cup.ì
