-
Brothers, sisters, comrades,
-
I am here because I believe you have made a decision
-
With insufficient information and foresight.
-
I am aware of your earlier vote.
-
I am aware that it was unanimous.
-
Nonetheless, I believe we should restore the Springboks.
-
Restore their name, their emblem and their colors, immediately.
-
Let me tell you why.
-
On Robben island, in Pollsmoor prison,
-
All of my jailers were afrikaners.
-
For twenty seven years,
-
I studied them.
