REMARKS FREEDOM DAY 2009: CITY OF CHICAGO
page 2

In building a democratic South Africa, we have steered clear of expedient quick fixes in favour of laying a solid, well thought out foundation that will deliver the promise of freedom to future generations.
Millions of people in the rural areas now have access to clean water and electricity, services that especially benefit women and children.  We have already achieved the Millennium Development Goal in respect of basic water supply, with improvement of access.  We have cause to celebrate because more than three million previously homeless people now have housing. We have managed to bring many eligible beneficiaries into the welfare system and serve our communities in the Batho Pele (People First) ethos.
We also celebrate because South Africans stood firmly together and united in our diversity as we presented the best bid to host the 2010 Soccer World Cup games. I invite you all to attend Africa’s most prestigious event; the 2010 Federation of International Football Association World Cup.
To make sure that our freedom becomes more meaningful to our people, the South African Government concentrates more effort on employment creation as we grow the economy.  There has been progress in this regard mainly because Government believes success at creating employment depends also on a partnership among all sectors of society.  We have witnessed steady progress in the advancement of black people in the economy.
Ladies and gentlemen, I present you with an invitation for a reliable future of growth, stability and prosperity based on mutual benefit and unique business opportunities for the State of Illinois, the rest of the Midwest and the Republic of South Africa. To achieve the faster levels of growth, the South African government is focusing on three areas, namely increasing the rate of trade and investment, improving levels of competitiveness, and broadening economic participation.
