Dear Honorble Lekota

Thank you for the probity and profundity of your questions on land reform. You are a rare representative of this country in a parliament where populism and expediency rule the day: you are a statesman.

I want to thank you for the sacrifices you have made for our country for a lifetime. To be unfairly besmirched, to have your dignity impugned time and time again must take a heavy toll, so I write this short message of heartfelt gratitude and suppport.

Thank you for being a worthy example to each and every South African
