"Now we are in the second term..." - Quote by Nelson Mandela
Now we are in the second term of the government of a united nation and the government has done very well. One thing they have done, one thing people could not be blind to, was the achievement this government has made in giving human beings dignity, which they did not enjoy before. They now have dignity.

It is an open secret that the dangerous increase of crime in this country is closely connected with this.”
“The federal government is our servant, not our master.”
“Democracy is the best form of the worst type of government”
