I Am Not An Optimist,

Sport Has The Power To Inspire And Unite People. In Africa, Soccer Enjoys Great Popularity And Has A Particular Place In The Hearts Of People. That Is Why It Is So Important That The Fifa World Cup Will, For The First Time Ever, Be Hosted On The African Continent In 2010. We Feel Privileged And Humbled That South Africa Has Been Given This Singular Honour Of Being The African Host Country.

Let Us Not Be Tempted By Those Who Try To Find The Unique Qualities In A Particular Group. In This Case, Among South Africa Indigenous People, It Reflected What Has Been Evidenced Throughout The World.

The Children's Hospital Will Be A Credible Demonstration Of The Commitment Of African Leaders To Place The Rights Of Children At The Forefront. Nothing Less Would Be Enough.

A Government Which Uses Force To Maintain Its Rule Teaches The Oppressed To Use Force To Oppose It.

Nothing Is Black Or White.
