Opening Address by President Jacob Zuma to the inaugural meeting of the President's Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment Council
Date: 04 February 2010
You will recall that in the 2009 State of the Nation Address, we emphasized that we would promote a more inclusive economy.We said we would utilise state levers such as procurement, licensing and financial support to assist small medium enterprises. We added that we would promote the implementation of Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment and affirmative action policies. We said this would be done in recognition of the need to correct the imbalances of the past. The transformation will be undertaken in support of women, youth and people with disabilities. We have a team of men and women with the right expertise and experience to enable us to deal with these matters.
The legislation that has given birth to this Council places it at the centre of our efforts to bring about the economic transformation of our society.

Solplaatje Welcomes Thousands For ANC Birthday
Date: 10 January 2010
Thousands of ANC supporters filled the GWK stadium in Kimberley as the leadership of the alliance took their seats to commemorate the party's 98th anniversary.
Cultural groups and performers entertained the crowd - this included ANC "boere musiek", with performer Boeta Gammies singing in Afrikaans.
A huge birthday cake, carried by eight people, was placed on the stage as a party atmosphere pervaded the tiny Kimberley stadium.
Statement by the National Executive Committee of the African National Congress, on the 98th anniversary of the ANC
Comrades and Compatriots
It is now 98 years since the founding of our movement - the African National Congress. It has been 98 years of principled struggle for a united, non-racial, non-sexist, democratic and prosperous South Africa.
We commemorate our anniversary two years since the ANC 52nd National Con-ference and nearly one year since the inauguration of the fourth democratic government, led by the African National Congress. This occasion provides an opportunity to reflect on progress made in the implementation of the pro-gramme outlined in our January 8th Statement last year, regarding the trans-formation of our society and the renewal of our organisation.
