May you not betray our people: Mogoeng cautions incoming parliamentarians

"May you not betray our people, those who died and suffered to ensure that you may be office bearers died so that all South Africans may enjoy a meaningful participation in the economy, freedom from all forms of prejudice and not that a minority may abuse the hard earned gains of independence."

Mogoeng thanked the IEC for a job well done in the manner in which the commission facilitated last week’s national and provincial elections. “The challenges of this country have never been more pronounced and I can only plead with all those who are going to assume the responsibility as Members of Parliament and provincial legislature and those who are going to be members of the executive to never forget that right at the top they are called upon to recognise the injustices of the past and that they are yet to be eliminated.”

“Regardless of the fact that we gained the right to vote over 25 years ago, there still remains those among us who do not enjoy meaningful participation in the economy and freedom from all forms of prejudice, either racial, sexual or otherwise,” said Mogoeng.
