The point I am making is that, given that history, the mandate of the SABC as a broadcaster is a mandate that is a ground-breaking mandate, because it has to change history. I know this history is irritating to some people. [Applause.] But the point is: What we are actually doing as the ANC government is to use the broadcaster to carry a mandate that is ground-breaking, because we need to do things for the first time in this country.
There is no history and there is no culture of blacks creating jobs. So, we are doing something that is altogether new to people who are listening and getting irritated. [Laughter.] [Applause.] They are probably not used to this type of people coming up and creating jobs and also developing the economy on their own.
This is a very important message that we must carry to our people. Our people must know today that they don't have other bosses; they are bosses themselves. They cannot expect any other person to create jobs for them, because while people own the economy, they are not creating jobs. Our people must stand up, rise up and create jobs for themselves. [Applause.] This is the strong message that we must carry.
