Chairperson, indeed there is work which we are doing, to encourage our unity and the unity of the nation which is about June 16.
A programme has been launched which is aimed at government working with the youth. There will be a march by the youth to commemorate June 16, which will start at Morris Isaacson High School and proceed to where Oscar Peterson was buried.
We will start there with all our visitors and our players who will be here for the 2010 Fifa Soccer World Cup, especially those who are from African countries. We also have concerts and festivals lined up. We started staging concerts when we celebrated Africa Day, where our emphasis was on indigenous South Africans and those who come from the rest of Africa. We told them that we will partner with them even in the opening and closing ceremonies; they will be there, especially those who managed to qualify for this competition and whom we call the 6-pack. They are the six African qualifying countries, which include South Africa. We say: Bafana Bafana, make us proud!]
Bafana Bafana has really made us proud.
Ngakho-ke, ngazo zonke lezi zinhlelo sizoya kuma-PVA, nasezifundazweni, nakulawo madolobha azosingatha imidlalo. Sizohambisa amakhonsathi, sinabo nabaculi ababuya e-Afrika nabuya ko-Sadec, kanye nabethu b alapha eNingizimu Afrika. Sizobe sithi-ke sibambisana kanjalo futhi silwisana nokucwasana ngobuhlanga, silwa nokucwaswa kwabantu abaphuma emazweni angaphandle. Sibonakalisa ukuthi siyakwazi ukuthi sisebenzisane ngokubambisana njengezwe nanjenge-Afrika yonkana. Ngiyabonga.
USIHLALO WOMKHANDLU KAZWELONKE WEZIFUNDAZWE: Labo abangazange babukele umabonakude izolo, iBafana Bafana iphumelele ngamagoli ayisihlanu eqandeni - 5-0. Ngiyabonga. (Translation of isiZulu paragraphs follow.)
[Therefore, with all these programmes we will go to the Public Viewing Areas, PVAs, in the provinces and the cities that will be hosting the games. We will be staging concerts - we have musicians from Africa and SADC, who will be performing with our musicians from South Africa. We will be working together and, at the same time, fighting racial discrimination and xenophobia. We are showing that we are able to work together as a country and Africa as a whole. Thank you.
