I will try to work very hard not to disappoint the people of South Africa.

We have realized that corruption is rife, and we are going to address it. We are going to root out corruption, and that is a promise I can make.

We are determined to build a society defined by decency and integrity that does not tolerate the plunder of public resources nor the theft by corporate criminals of the hard-earned savings of ordinary people.

The expropriation of land without compensation is envisaged as one of the measures that we will use to accelerate redistribution of land to black South Africans.

We need to transform our rural areas, restore the land to its rightful owners, and significantly grow our agricultural output.

We must acknowledge that there are factions in our movements... We should not be telling lies to each other; we should tell the truth to each other with the view that there will be unity.

Land is a very broad as well as a complex issue, and it has to be handled very delicately because around land, there is quite a lot of emotion.

Somewhere in the depths of my soul is the connection my father had with his cattle, the hills of Khalavha, and his people.
