African National Congress president Cyril Ramaphosa on Sunday delivers the "I also said: "Thus, logically, we must assume that the notion of social cohesion, however understood, has been an objective and subjective integral part of the formation of human society from the very beginning of the emergence of the animal species to which we belong, described as human beings. What is it that makes for our identity as a people and a nation?How do we, who live, and have been urged to describe ourselves as proudly South African, answer the questions: who are we?

In his inimitable style, he told his congregants:"And so this morning I would like to use as a subject from which to preach: "The American Dream. It doesn't say "some men," it says "all men." The mini documentaries of the victims will air soon on social media. Lembede wrote:"Know Thyself: These few words pithily synthesise or epitomize the teaching of the ancient Greek philosopher - Socrates - who lived about 400 B.C...As it is with individuals, so it is with nations. For the hour is late. To answer this question, I would say that Raymond Mhlaba was and is one of our outstanding national heroes.I would say that the Raymond Mhlaba Trust Fund and this Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University took a correct decision when they decided to institute a Lecture Series named after the national hero, Raymond Mhlaba.In this context, I salute and thank the Mhlaba Trust Fund and this University for giving all of us the possibility to reflect on the life of Raymond Mhlaba, to speak about what his life and example mean with regard to the future of our nation to prove the statement that though Oom Ray is dead, yet his spirit lives on!At the beginning of this Lecture I spoke of questions whose answers "define issues about identity and belonging, and therefore both consciousness of self and integration within, or, put differently, non-alienation from a larger whole. Know Thyself. On the day we buried Oom Ray, Raymond Mhlaba, on February 27, 2005, I had the honour to deliver the Funeral Oration. We are fortunate that we have never defined our own heroes and heroines apart from the masses of the people they inspired and led.Where Bertolt Brecht says "In the books you will read the names of kings", we can respond, truthfully, that our own book of heroes and heroines is not one of kings as individual makers of history, making it necessary to ask the question - Did the kings haul up the lumps of rock...used to build Thebes of the seven gates.Thus would we assert that Iraj Bashiri was also correct to draw attention to the role that heroes and heroines play in the making of the identity and cohesion of nations, including our own.Whereas in the passages we quoted Frederick Engels presented an argument about the objective necessity for the formation of the human community, and thus human society, in this Lecture we seek to address the equally important dimension to the very existence of this human community and society - the subjective!We accept that objectively the human species cannot exist except in community. "And so it is marvellous and great that we do have a dream, that we have a nation with a dream; and to forever challenge us; to forever give us a sense of urgency; to forever stand in the midst of the "isness" of our terrible injustices; to remind us of the "oughtness" of our noble capacity for justice and love and brotherhood. And the clock of destiny is ticking out. "In these words Anton Lembede stated his own and his generation's imagination of ourselves as a political community.Thirty-nine (39) years earlier, in 1906, a predecessor liberator to Anton Lembede, Pixley ka Izaka Seme, had gone further in identifying Africa's particular contribution to the elevation of human society. It does not say "all Gentiles," it says "all men," which includes Jews. And the price that America must pay for the continued oppression of the Negro and other minority groups is the price of its own destruction. On that day I said:"It is not possible to stand here, next to the still life of Oom Ray, without being awed by what his generation of freedom fighters did to give us our humanity. It's a great dream. In addition, we wish to assert that out of this objective reality is born the subjective understanding that that objective reality, which combines human beings, who have the capacity to think, is sustained by universally accepted subjective propositions that constitute an intellectual justification of the existence of the community.In his famous book, "Imagined Communities: Reflections on the Origin and Spread of Nationalism", first published in 1983, Benedict Anderson said:"I propose the following definition of the nation: it is an imagined political community and imagined as both inherently limited and sovereign.
