This is the speech I delivered to Federal Council Delegates
Leaders, Fellow democrats
I stand before you as a proud South African, a committed member and activist of the DA. I believe that the DA is the only party that can carry and realize the hopes of millions of South Africans who continue to live in poverty, who live in fear of criminals and are at the mercy of untrustworthy politicians. They feel abandoned and do not know what the future holds for them.
We are the only hope they have of building a fair society, but there is work to do first.
This moment demands that we redefine our politics and change the trajectory of our country to the path of growth and prosperity.
To do this we have to redefine ourselves, to state unambiguously what we stand for and how we will build a fair society by focusing our energies on Economic, Social and Environmental Justice.
