SPEECH: SOUTH AFRICA STATE OF THE NATION IN 2018 – PROGNOSIS FOR REFORM

But the second set are even more important and relate to policy reform in areas of empowerment, the labour market, property rights, and education.
SPEECH: THE CONSTITUTION, STATE CAPTURE AND THE WAY FORWARD
Twenty-two years ago elected representatives of all the people of South Africa, gathered in Parliament, sitting as a Constituent Assembly, adopted a new Constitution as the supreme law of South Africa.
