Note

8 January 2002
The Secretary-General
African National Congress
Luthuli House
Plein Street
Johannesburg
Dear Comrade Kgalema,
As you may be aware I have been on holiday since 16 December 2001, and from the 27th of the same month, I have been in Maputo. On the 20th of this month I will pass through Pretoria to a game farm and will return to Johannesburg on 1 February 2002.
Last Sunday I watched the television screens and saw the vast crowd that assembled at the ABSA stadium to celebrate the 90th anniversary of the organisation. I also saw two well-known heavyweights from Luthuli House dancing sprightly with the crowd. I am sure all those who witnessed how nimble they were in their paces were tremendously impressed. They would have expected them, as some of us did, to move ponderously according to dignity and convention.
I send you warmest congratulations and a happy new year.
Sincerely
[Signed]
Madiba
