10 may 1994.
1 today, all of us do, by our presence here, and by our celebrations in other parts of our country and the world, confer glory and hope to newborn liberty. out of the experience of an extraordinary human disaster that lasted too long must be born a society of which all humanity will be proud.
2 our daily deeds as ordinary south africans must produce an actual south african reality that will reinforce humanitys belief in justice, strengthen its confidence in the nobility of the human soul and sustain all our hopes for a glorious life for all. all this we owe both to ourselves and to the peoples of the world who are so well represented here today.
3 to my compatriots, i have no hesitation in saying that each one of us is as intimately attached to the soil of this beautiful country as are the famous jacaranda trees of pretoria and the mimosa trees of the bushveld. each time one of us touches the soil of this land, we feel a sense of personal renewal. the national mood changes as the seasons change. we are moved by a sense of joy and exhilaration when the grass turns green and the flowers bloom.
4 that spiritual and physical oneness we all share with this common homeland explains the depth of the pain we all carried in our hearts as we saw our country tear itself apart in a terrible conflict, and as we saw it spurned, outlawed and isolated by the peoples of the world, precisely
these sentences are from the passage.
“let there be justice for all. let there be peace for all.
let there be work, bread, water and salt for all.
let each know that for each the body, the mind and the
soul have been freed to fulfil themselves.”
(paragraph 13)
why do these sentences serve as an effective ending
for the speech?
1 they urge the audience to support mandela in
freeing all who remain wrongly imprisoned.
2 they convince the audience that more
sacrifices are needed to end discrimination
everywhere.
3 they leave the audience with a clear and
compelling vision of what mandela hopes to
achieve in south africa.
4 they encourage the audience to reflect on the
past and the negative image of south africa
once held by the world
