Met u vergunning wil ek graag verder teruggaan, en in die herinnering roep wat ons, as verteenwoordigers van ons mense, in 2004 gesê het in die teenwoordigheid van ons vriende van die res van die wêreld, wat byeengekom by die regeringsetel by die Uniegebou in Pretoria, op Vryheidsdag, die 10de herdenking van ons bevryding, en in deelname aan die inhuldiging van die President van die Republiek, wat deur ons Parlement verkies is ooreenkomstig die wil wat ons mense op demokratiese wyse tydens die 2004-verkiesing uitgespreek het.
With your indulgence, I would like to step further back, and recall what we said, in 2004, as representatives of our people, in the presence of our friends from the rest of the world, convened at our seat of government the Union Buildings in Tshwane on Freedom Day, the 10th anniversary of our liberation, and participated in the Inauguration of the President of the Republic, whom our Parliament had chosen, respecting the will of the people democratically demonstrated during the 2004 elections.
