There are other issues which illustrates this philosofical and big difference which highlights the choice, the real choice of the future, that you as young people have in South Africa.
Crime, the maintenance of Law and Order in the hole issue of discipline. Both the National Party and the ANC takes a strong stand against crime. Against different aliance, against political violence. Together we understand the deep concerns of the public in South Africa and we are working together in the Government of National Unity on a special Safety and Security action plan. But that is where it stops, because if you look deeper there are fundamental differences between the National Party and the ANC in their respective approaches towards the issue of authority of discipline. One example, the National Party in favour of the death penalty for serious crimes like murder where there is aggravated circumstances. The ANC spoke against it.
The ANC cannot claim the same. Their handling of the Shell House incident, the legislation on the Truth Commission, and the whole issue on indemnity clearly shows that prejudices and self interest is rearing its ugly head in the thinking and these of the ANC.
Regstellende aksie, The National Party also strongly supports reasonable and affordable steps towards making for instance the civil service more representative of the nation.
We say it is right that if anybody has been disadvantage by discrimination in the past by special steps should be taken to help that section of our community to overcome that disadvantage. And therefore, special opportunities should be created, and special action programs, yes, should be developed. If you go deeper then we say the ANC brand of affirmative action is quite different. We say that affirmative action should never result in reverse racial discrimination. That it should never result in the lowering of standards or that non recognition of merit of experience that of hard work and commitment on the side of anyone.
The ANC brand is different, it is already leading to severe racial discrimination in some departments where it has been implemented in an unbalance way. I want to say here today also against Black South Africans we find signs of discrimination if those Black South Africans are not openly supported of the ANC as a political movement. Services of experience and talented South Africans are being lost at a alarming rate. Therefore, it is important that the National Party's hands be strenthen to imprint upon decision making now and in the future. Our true brand of market orientated economic policy. Our true brand of proper effective but balance affirmative action. Our true brand of economic policy which stand and will lead to economic growth.
We say that the RDP is basically about empowerment. Empowerment is a way to bring a better life to all South Africans. The ANC according to my analises is still corp up in the concept of invitalment.
What is the difference, if we talk about the powerment we put the strong emphasis to helping people who help themselfs. We must achieve a cultural learning, we say that the emphasis should be on education and traiing not only for our youth but also for grown ups who do not have sufficient skills. We say that the emphasis should be on the retraiing of people so that they can improve their skills and their compentance. We say that we must state so called lost generation of the streets, and in parts skill to them, because at the moment they are trained for nothing, and they are almost forced to learn of crime. We say emphasis should be on job creation so that South Africans with these skills which you achieve through the emphasis of education and training can afford a house. Can buy their own food and need not be inslaved and become the decadent upon a steak acting like father Christman all the time. Because that undermines the essential dignity of all human beings to be dependant on hand outs. Here and there we hear from the ANC the same song but constantly if you analise there is the socialistic undertone?
