Fatima made this quote during her speech at an inaugural conference. That means the only thing that stands between you and the attainment of your dreams is hard work. Only hard work differentiates people in our society now Fatima made this statement during visitation to pupils in Roodepoort You are the only one standing in the way of achieving your dreams... This is the age at which you set the foundation for the rest of your life. Human dignity says that you have the right to be respected... not because you are good looking, not because you have a family with a lot of money... but because you are a human being and for that reason, you are deserving of respect If each of us treats ourselves with respect, we would have a respectful community, a respectful school, and a respectful country. In this modern age, no one can function without an ID. It follows you from your birth to the grave. ] We want to create this opportunity for women from different parts of our continent to talk to each other so they develop friendships If women can join hands, exchange ideas, then we will have a community that is at peace with itself. We are here to share our experiences as women and by coming together we can come up with the solution to what is bothering us as women. I would like to thank the City of Joburg for giving us a chance to join hands and create unity with our South African sisters. I hope most South Africans will understand why we are here and stop calling us names and mistreating us in public places Madam Speaker, I think one of the problems we have in this House is that members seek to usurp the Rules to suit their own ends. In SADEC in particular, we need to accept the reality of economic migration and put in place effective mechanisms to manage that. All countries in SADEC need to work together in this regard. love needs expression - often at least once a day say I love you. - say it in all and every circumstance, and nobody ever gets tired of hearing it. May your love be as powerful as that of Tata Walter and Mama Albertina, and may you find in each other comfort and companionship.
