期望。我向我们的主席奥利弗坦博同志致敬，他在最艰难的环境下领导着非国大。

非人的自由而流尽了最后一滴血。我向南非共产党致敬，它为南非的民主斗争作出了

非凡的贡献。你们经受了40年的无情迫害而坚持了下来。南非世世代代的人民都将怀

念摩西科达恩、余素夫达都、布莱姆费舍尔以及摩西马西达等伟大的共产主义者。我

种形式的群众民主运动组织致敬。我还要向“黑肩带”妇女协会以及南非学生国民联

合会致敬。我们骄傲地看到你们的言行代表了南非白人的良知。即便在我们斗争史上

最黑暗的岁月里，你们也高举着民主自由的大旗。过去几年里，大规模的群众动员是

揭开我们斗争最后篇章的主要因素之一。我要向我们国家的劳动阶级致敬。你们团结

起来的力量是我们争取自由运动的骄傲。你们依然是我们反剥削反压迫斗争中最可依

赖的力量。
