Question

On the day of the inauguration, I was overwhelmed with a sense of history in the first decade
of the 20th century, a few years after the bitter Anglo-Boer war and before my own birth, the
white-skinned people's of South Africa patched up their differences and created a system of
racial domination against the dark-skinned people of their own land. The structure they created
formed the basis of one of the harshest, most inhumane societies the world has ever known.
Now, in the last decade of the 20th centuryrand my own eighth decade as a man, that system
had been overturned for ever and replaced by one that recognised the rights and freedoms of
all peoples, regardless of the colour of their skin. That day had come about through the
unimaginable sacrifices of thousands of my people, people whose suffering and courage can
never be counted or repaid.
