There is nothing wrong with students demanding free education, and, in fact, it is something that our children deserve. ”

Students want free education because their parents are struggling. The fees of universities and technikons are too high. ”

Free education for all - whilst it is a desirable notion, in South Africa it will simply not be affordable. ”

To get education to sink deep into the minds of a nation takes a generation and more. ”

We say South Africa is an open country, and when people come here, we must deal with them with dignity and respect within the parameters of our Constitution. ”

Leaders are meant to lead from the front, but at the same time, they are also meant to listen to what their followers are saying. ”

Issues to do with corruption, issues of how we can straighten out our state-owned enterprises, and how we deal with 'state capture' are issues that are on our radar screen. ”

In defence of Madiba's legacy, we will continue to wage a relentless war on corruption and mismanagement of the resources of our country. ”

Some say the Constitution has robbed us of a proper land redistribution process. Others would want to look at other clauses. Well, it's South Africa. Everything is transparent and open for debate. ”

We want young people to come forward with bright ideas; we want the women and men in our country to have jobs. ”
