President, distinguished platform guests, ladies, and gentlemen! We have been able to create a unity amongst freedom loving people this country has not seen for many a year. No, we represent organisations deeply rooted in the struggle for justice and deeply rooted in the hearts of our people. We are here to say that the Government's constitutional proposals are inadequate (not enough) and that they do not express the will of the vast majority of South Africa's people. But more than that, we are here to say that what we are working for is one undivided South Africa which shall belong to all of its people, an open democracy from which no single South African shall be excluded and a society in which the human dignity of all its people shall be respected. In a sense, the formation of the United Democratic Front (UDF) both highlights the crisis apartheid and its supporters have created for themselves. After a history of some 331 years of slavery, racial discrimination, dehumanisation and economic exploitation, what they expected were acceptance of the status quo (existing state of affairs).
