text: You personally were a great inspiration to us during preparations for events and indeed during the events themselves. Your outstanding leadership and dedication to the advancement of all people both in South Africa and throughout the world helped us set our goals.
The support of all the people of South Africa, through your leadership, was overwhelming and made us proud to be competing for the first time in Olympic history under a united flag and a united anthem.
With love and respect
