		SPEECH BY F W DE KLERK ON THE 100TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE CAPE TOWN CLUB, CAPE TOWN, 12 MARCH 2008- I should like to take this opportunity, at the outset, to congratulate the Cape Town Club on its 150th anniversary.

		The new South Africa at thirteen:Prospects for change - challenges of leadership At the end of April the New South Africa turned thirteen. It became a teenager – and shares many of the well-known teenager attributes: • It is growing strongly – perhaps by 5% or 6% next year; • It is still unsure of itself – still struggling to find an identity; • It is often volatile – with perplexing changes of mood; • Every now and then there are unsightly and embarrassing eruptions In assessing our teenager we must never forget the remarkable progress that we all have made since 1994. At the same time, we must not allow the fact that we are doting parents to make us blind to clear problems, shortcomings and threats. In particular, we need to scrutinise report cards to see how the new South Africa is faring by comparison with its peer group.	2007-07-12
