00:00 I suppose I was a bit of a rebel.
00:02 I voted against my own party in and out of government
00:05 on 23 occasions.
00:07 The fact that we are the sovereign people,
00:10 not were, but are.
00:12 I could not see the sense of this full system
00:14 that said white was right and black was wrong.
00:17 I was determined to take them on,
00:24 head on and not roof.

00:29 We must change the ways the media is manipulated
00:32 and projects the negative propaganda
00:35 relating to my people.
00:37 What I'm asking the government to do is to admit
00:42 prior ownership and then introduce legislation
00:46 to compensate the descendants for this possession.

00:52 but I will hold you responsible for the present
00:55 and the future because that is the white man's
00:57 responsibility as well as mine.
00:59 Oh heavens above yes, I'm going out with my gloves on.
