There is a section of our population in south africa that you can't expect to get integrated in the economy of its own. these are people without skills and that will include young people who might very well have matric certificates, but don't have the skills to be absorbed in the economy. so we need to target people like those in a special way, in a focused way so that they have the skills and the capacity to participate in the economy. that requires special programmes.

When i was in government, the south african economy was growing at 4.5% - 5%. but then came the global financial crisis of 2008/2009, and so the global economy shrunk. that hit south africa very hard, because then the export markets shrunk, and that includes china, which has become one of the main trade partners with south africa. also, the slowdown in the chinese economy affected south africa. the result was that during that whole period, south africa lost something like a million jobs because of external factors.

Talent is able to achieve what is beyond other people's capacity to achieve, yet not what is beyond their capacity of apprehension; therefore it at once finds its appreciators. the achievement of genius, on the other hand, transcends not only others' capacity of achievement, but also their capacity of apprehension; therefore they do not become immediately aware of it. talent is like the marksman who hits a target which others cannot reach; genius is like the marksman who hits a target, as far as which others cannot even see.

I just wanted to speak to you about something from the internal revenue code. it is the last sentence of section 509a of the code and it reads: 'for purposes of paragraph 3, an organization described in paragraph 2 shall be deemed to include an organization described in section 501c-4, 5, or 6, which would be described in paragraph 2 if it were an organization described in section 501c-3.' and that's just one sentence out of those fifty-seven feet of books.

Even in the most insignificant details of our daily life, none of us can be said to constitute a material whole, which is identical for everyone, and need only be turned up like a page in an account-book or the record of a will; our social personality is created by the thoughts of other people.
