    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I rise to support this Statement from Sen. (Dr.) Milgo, our vice Chairman, Committee on Labour and Social Welfare. It is timely for it to come from her because immigration is about welfare or the issues that are under the ambit of this Committee. However, most importantly, it is about foreign relations. Madam Temporary Speaker, South Africa is a great country; Mzansi as we call it. I was privileged to study at Nelson Mandela University. I went there because of the name ‘Mandela’. I looked forward to what he represents and many people across the world look up to this great icon. He is the only person who has statues in cities such as London. I have not seen any other African who has been honoured and celebrated like him. He is really the heart and the soul of South Africa. However, after he left public service and left us, South Africa has been on a decline. It is has been a democracy that many people have looked up to; it is a country that has 11 official languages and there is no ethnic tension around it. It is a well a developed country. In fact, it is more developed than some of the countries in Eastern Europe. For a long time, it has been the first African economy until Nigeria took over. Due to that, the Rainbow Nation has people of different orientation. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
