I have always believed in evolving a consensus before taking any major decision.

There are times when a leader must move out ahead of the flock, go off in a new direction, confident that he is leading his people the right way.

Hating clouds the mind. It gets in the way of strategy. Leaders cannot afford to hate.

The past is a rich resource on which we can draw in order to make decisions for the future, but it does not dictate our choices. We should look back at the past and select what is good, and leave behind what is bad.

The youth of today are the leaders of tomorrow.

It is the dictate of history to bring to the fore the kind of leaders who seize the moment, who cohere the wishes and aspirations of the oppressed. Such was Steve Biko, a fitting product of his time; a proud representative of the re-awakening of a people.
