We need to make sure that the ANC branches are strong, that they can lead the communities we live in.

You can never have unity if you want things to go your way.

If we are not honest, we are not going to be able to forge unity.

If we are to put a stop to corruption and state capture, those responsible must be brought to book.

We need to rid our State Owned Enterprises of corruption because the money being siphoned out should be funding them.

We must not have an economy that discourages and chases away investors from investing in South Africa.

We should put behind us the era of diminishing trust in public institutions and weakened confidence in our country's public leaders.

We remain a highly unequal society in which poverty and prosperity are still defined by race as well as gender.

We must stop the division among us. We must stop factionalism. We must embrace unity; we must embrace working together, because if we are divided, we will not be able to win in 2019.

We cannot effect meaningful change if we become complacent, if we become comfortable with our own positions in the status quo.

Land has been an issue of great concern to our people.

We will wash and clean the ANC, and it will be the ANC you know. The ANC that will work for the people.

South Africa must come first in everything we do.

We are going to seek to improve the lives of our people on an ongoing basis, and since 1994, we have done precisely that.

Issues to do with corruption, issues of how we can straighten out our state-owned enterprises, and how we deal with 'state capture' are issues that are on our radar screen.

We need to work together as social partners to focus on our economy by removing all the obstacles to investment and move South Africa to a higher level of growth.

Our Vision 2030 remains the blueprint for inclusive growth, social cohesion, and prosperity for all. Under this plan, we will continue to develop skills that can help our country realise its developmental goals and address labour market issues.

New schools, hospitals, clinics, factories, bridges, dams, and airports tell the story of a South Africa that has indeed moved forward.

We have brave hearts and won't retreat. We are not going back; we are going forward.

People must respect our movement.

I believe things that happen in the ANC family must be handled there.

We have all the good policies, all right visions, but the problem is implementation. When we come out of national conference, we want those leaders we have chosen to be those who can implement policies.

We must be able to identify those who want divide our movement, and say, 'Not in our name.' We need to choose leaders that will not divide the ANC.

We need to mobilise our structures and our supporters to oppose state capture and corruption in whatever form it takes.

We now know, without any shred of uncertainty, that billions of rands of public resources have been diverted into the pockets of a few.

We are a big economy, and we must, therefore, show that we can manage it, but not only manage it, but that can transform it so that this economy works for all of our people so that everyone feels that they have a stake in this economy.

Young people must feel that they can be real actors in our economy and be creative and be imaginative and be innovative.

We want to open spaces for young people to thrive in this economy, and that is why we said... when government buys commodities and services, we must have some set aside for young people.

We want young people to come forward with bright ideas; we want the women and men in our country to have jobs.

Free education for all - whilst it is a desirable notion, in South Africa it will simply not be affordable.

If you read the Freedom Charter carefully, you will find that - the clause that refers to education, and it says education must be free 'on merit.'

It is important that South Africans of all political persuasions be represented in Parliament.

There is nothing wrong with students demanding free education, and, in fact, it is something that our children deserve.

What we want is for our young people to be skilled.

The ANC will never die; it will live.

Marikana should not have happened. We are all to blame, and there are many stakeholders that should take the blame. But taking the blame should mean that we should make sure it never, ever, happens again.

Not a lot of teams take you into consideration, like a lot of teams can easily decide to if you're hurt or anything, make you go play.

I'd be a race car driver. I love fast cars.

When you find your niche, you just gotta continue to be confident and thrive in it.

I really didn't get to experience college. I enjoyed Ohio State, but I didn't feel like I had a chance to live the college life. When some guys got bored, they went out partying or to the student center. When I got bored, I went to the gym.

The older you get, the more you start to understand your body, so I try to just focus on my body every summer.

The coaches that I've had, my teammates that I've met throughout this journey, it's something that you can't take away. It almost feels like a degree. You can't take that away from somebody.

The league has changed in so many ways. There are no point guards anymore, there are no centers anymore; it's all positionless basketball.

I know my work ethic and know what I've put in to get where I'm at.

L.A. has so much to offer. So I want to take advantage of it.

It's hard to keep a positive attitude coming to work every day, feeling like you're getting better when the same result is losing.

The Lakers fanbase is enormous. Getting the fans on our side is a huge advantage for us.

I'll let my game speak for itself.

Like, if you get close enough to me you'll see how I really am.

As far as coming out on top with the right mentality and it molding you into the best human being you can be, I think that's what Brooklyn did for me. I became an All-Star, I got to touch the playoffs. To get a piece of that, I'm forever thankful.
