SOUNDBITE: (English) Nelson Mandela, President of South Africa: "To the extent that I have been able to take our country forward to this new era it is because I am the product of the people of the world who have cherished the vision of a better life for all people everywhere. They insisted, in a spirit of self-sacrifice, that that vision should be realized in South Africa too. They gave us hope because we knew by their solidarity that our ideas could not be silenced since they were the ideas of all humanity. I am the product of Africa and her long-cherished dream of a rebirth that can now be realized so that all of her children may play in the sun."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Nelson Mandela, President of South Africa: "I will count myself as amongst the aged of our society, as one of the rural population, as one concerned for the children and youth of our country and as a citizen of the world committed, as long as I have strength to work for a better life for all people everywhere. And as I have always done, I will do what I can within the discipline of the broad movement for peace and democracy to which I belong."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Nelson Mandela, President of South Africa (partly overlaid): "To the extent that we have still to reconcile and heal our nation, to the extent that the consequences of apartheid still permeate our society and define the lives of millions of South Africans as lives of deprivation, those challenges are unchanged."
