  • Speech by Helen Zille Premier of the Western Cape State
    SPEECH BY HELEN ZILLE PREMIER OF THE WESTERN CAPE STATE OF THE PROVINCE ADDRESS WESTERN CAPE PROVINCIAL LEGISLATURE 18 February 2011 10h00 Honourable Speaker Cabinet colleagues The Honourable Leader of the Opposition Members of the diplomatic corps Leaders of political parties Honourable members of the national and provincial parliaments Leaders of local government Director-General and Heads of Department Religious leaders Community leaders Colleagues and friends Citizens of the Western Cape Namkelekile Nonke. Baie welkom aan almal hier vandag It is always a profound honour to make this opening speech of the parliamentary session. Each one of us was elected to represent all the people of our province, and we embrace this responsibility with dedication and humility. This House is the place where government is called upon to account for its actions, where every bill is debated and where the money we spend is scrutinised. The often heated exchanges to which we have grown accustomed are generally a good thing. It shows that our democracy is robust; that there is space for differences and disagreements. And, as our democracy matures, it is essential to ensure that the debate in this House focuses on alternative solutions. We cannot build a shared future if we remain trapped in the conflicts of the past. Of course, the legacy of our tragic past is still with us, and will be for years ahead. This government is committed to redressing that legacy in the shortest possible time by the most sustainable means. Let us therefore accept each other‟s good faith. Let us move away from gratuitous insults and racial posturing.
