Deputy President
Thabo Mbeki
We have pleasure
in submitting the report of Comtask completed according to the mandate
which you established in January.
In doing so,
we would like to record appreciation for the enthusiastic response
which we received from hundreds of South Africans in all walks of
life, and of the contributions made by professional and community
organisations, and all levels of government.
The report also
benefitted from the input and comments of senior officials and citizens
from over twenty countries around the world, who gave generously
of their time and ideas.
We would like
to record appreciation for the substantial financial and technical
support which this exercise received from the Commonwealth Secretariat,
the Friedrich Ebert Foundation and the United Nations Development
Programme.
Finally, we
would like to pay special tribute to the contribution of the late
Dr. Paul Lusaka, whose illness forced him to withdraw before the
completion of the report. Dr Lusaka, a long standing friend of democracy
and of South Africa, worked as a Commonwealth adviser during the
most critical phase of our research, and made a major contribution
to our work.
