Chris Hani's assessment of the prevailing conditions is as prophetic and relevant today as it was when he said:
We as the ANC-led liberation alliance have nothing to fear and everything to gain from a climate of political tolerance. We do not fear open contest and free debate with other organisations. Open debate can only serve to uncover the bankruptcy of our political opponents.
And today's debate has demonstrated just that. On that note I want to say to all these other parties, wake up and take the challenge. I thank you. [Time expired.] [Applause.]
