Hon members, thank you very much for these deliberations. English speakers will actually agree with me when I say that the fangs of the truth have sharp edges.
Let's celebrate Freedom Day in a holistic manner. I can actually say openly that I am very proud to be a black South African woman. If the scars of the past history could be seen on our faces, many people seated here would not even like to look at us.
I am thus pleading with everybody here to say that we, as the ANC, are very proud of having walked that rough path with pride and being able to accept the losses we experienced during the days of the struggle.
