President Aristide's Final Day In South Africa

President Aristide said in Zulu: "Dear brothers and sisters, a great day has arrived, a day to say goodbye before returning home, the day to whole-heartedly thank President Zuma and the government, former President Mbeki and his wife, our beloved Madiba and his family"—referring of course to Nelson Mandela. "Dear friends at the University of South Africa and Wits University—all of you brothers and sisters of South Africa. My family and I will never forget this long and beautiful time spent with you in the heart of Mama Africa. We saw the spirit of Ubuntu the first day we met with Minister Dlamini-Zuma in 2003 until today. Indeed, the cleverness of our ancestors is outstanding. Ubuntu is an honor to Africa and to this country. The world truly needs this philosophy. May the starts of Ubuntu shine in the sky over the entire world."

He ended again by saying, "Warm greetings dear brothers and sisters. We wish you a prosperous life and all the best. Thank you. Bye, bye."
