Vanjaar sal die Afrika Forum vir Portuuroorsig sy ondersoek na ons land afhandel. Ek wil hierdie geleentheid benut om ons wetgewers, ministers en staatsdepartemente, staatsdiensorganisasies, en die gemeenskap in die breë te bedank vir hulle bydrae tot ´n oefening wat ewe uitdagend as uniek binne ons jong demokrasie was. Ons sal die nodige stappe doen om die aksieprogram wat uit dié proses van die postuuroorsig sal voortvloei, in werking te stel.
This year the African Peer Review Forum will complete its review of our country. I wish to take this opportunity to thank our legislators, government Ministers and departments, our civil society organisations and society at large for the contribution they made to an exercise that was as challenging as it was unique for our young democracy. We will also take the necessary steps to implement the required programme of action that will emerge as a result of the peer review process.
