Scene 1: First Day Speech with Staff of President House

Thank you for coming on such short notice. Some of you may know who I am.

I could not help noticing the empty offices as I came to work this morning; and all of the
packing boxes.

Now, of course, if you want to leave, that is your right.

And if you feel in your heart that you cannot work with your new government, then it is
better that you do leave, right away.

But if you are packing up because you fear that your language, or the color of your skin,
or who you worked for before disqualifies you from working here, I am here to tell you: Have no
such fear.

Scene 3 Time 28:00-35:15-Appearing at the South African Sports Committee, after they
had elected to disband the Springbok rugby team
Be eliminated immediately and that

all sports teams representing South Africa

shall be known, as the Proteose

Comrades, we will submit this motion to a hand vote and in the event of a close count
will go to a written ballot all of those in favor of eliminating the Springboks Raise your hands
Viva Proteose Viva Viva both units to their cars, right now what do I tell the Japanese trade
delegation?

I delegate that decision to you do you want me to inform the VP?

No, we should at least include the minister of sport No I strongly advise against doing
this, especially on your own it gives the impression of autocratic leadership you risk alienating
your cabinet and your party your advice is duley noted Dear Mandela, the people want this they
hate the Springboks, they don't want to be represented by them yes I know, but in this instance,
the people are wrong and as their leader, it is my job to show them that you are risking your
political capitol you're risking your future as our leader the day I am afraid to do that, is the day I
am no longer fit to lead at least, risk it for something more important than rugby tell the boys I
want to go very fast we, the executives would like to applaud you for your diligence and your
courage please, join us in our anthem Comrades, comrades members of the choir, we would only
interupt such beautiful music For something truly important Please, welcome, President
Mandela Thank-you Thank-you

Scene 5- Time 1:17:55-1:21:00- Prison visit of Rugby team for


motivation

Poem

Out of the night that covers me,


Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance


I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeoning of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears


Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,


How charged with punishments the scroll.
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.
