“We are embarking on a process, a campaign really of engaging all and sundry so that we are all at one, in as far as condemning intolerance, condemning violence and this was so clearly and well-articulated during my meeting with President Buhari. He calls upon those from other lands when they come to SA. They must obey the laws of the country and similarly, we say South Africans as well must also obey the laws of our country.”
