REMARKS FREEDOM DAY 2009: CITY OF CHICAGO
 Page 3

 The South African economic environment offers advanced infrastructure and well-developed financial, economic and legal systems.  We are a steadily maturing democracy with qualities that remain attractive to foreign investors.
As we celebrate 15 years of democracy in South Africa, I wish to encourage our social partners in the international community to continue to work together with our government and local communities, and use their expertise and
resources to assist in the transformation of our country. This is
critical because the creation of a South Africa that truly belongs to all can partly be achieved through a collective effort between us and our overseas partners.  Freedom should also see us continuing to improve on the economic mutually beneficial relationships that we enjoy with our partners.
Despite some difficulties and weaknesses associated with a newly democratic state, that we acknowledge, and problems which we share with much of the developing world, like crime, corruption, unemployment and disease, South Africa is a country that is truly basking in the Age of Hope.  Hope for the vast majority of our people is becoming a reality.
I wish to take the privilege of informing this gathering that a few days ago South Africa went to the polls and voted for the fourth time since 1994 to elect new leadership for our country. We are proud to be players in the stage of Democracy.
Ladies and Gentlemen thank you for joining us as we usher in fifteen years of democracy in South Africa.  I wish you all an enjoyable evening.
