Education is really bread and butter citizenship. It is just necessary to the developing of citizens that can perform their duties properly.

No country can really develop unless its citizens are educated. Any nation that is progressive is led by people who have had the privilege of studying.

We know that we still have far to go; that we must more greatly build the security and the opportunity and the knowledge of every citizen, in the measure justified by the resources and the capacity of the land.

We get to do business all over the world, and it's rare to have such a big economy [India], growing so fast, and creating so much opportunity for so many. We want to be part of the process to strengthen the country, to serve its citizens and to demonstrate that we're a trusted partner across all these dimensions.

The task at hand on will not be easy. But you have mandated us to change South Africa from a country in which the majority lived with little hope, to one in which they can live and work with dignity, with a sense of self-esteem and confidence in the future. The cornerstone of building a better life of opportunity, freedom and prosperity is the Reconstruction and Development Programme.

All that is valuable in human society depends upon the opportunity for development accorded the individual.
