For many years, I supported the concept of separate states.

What I haven't apologised for is the original concept of seeking to bring justice to all South Africans through the concept of nation states.

The relationship between me and President Mandela right at the beginning was not a very well-established relationship. It was based on two meetings.

The ANC party from time to time comes with legislation which, if accepted and if not nullified by the constitution of court, would have the effect of undermining the constitution and eroding its values.

I felt a sense of fulfillment that an action plan, which I'd laid on the table on the 2nd of February 1990, had been fulfilled, had been properly implemented within the time frame which I envisaged.

When I first met Mandela, we did not discuss anything of substance; we just felt each other out. He spent a long time expressing his admiration for the Boer generals and how ingenious they were during the Anglo-Boer war.
