ister Koornhof, after seeing Trevino, has on a beautiful waistcoat and now I'm going to call him the best dressed man in the low price field. But to be serious, Minister Koornhof has done so much for sport in South Africa. He takes positive stands when he has to and he is never afraid to say what he believes, and I am sure that all South Africans, whether they are great liberals or great verkramptes, whether white or black, appreciate his honesty. I don't know how honest politicians all over the world are, but I can tell you that Minister Koornhof is honest. The other day he said the facilities for some of our sportsmen were not as good as they should be and he is right, and he is doing things to try to improve the situation. I like the way he backs up his words and I am sure that we are going to go from strength to strength in sport. We are very proud to have him in such an important position. He is a competitor; I played with him in Port Elizabeth and I have never seen a man try so hard on a golf course. His handicap is 14. He must be on the handicapping committee himself because I have never seen a fellow who was more of a rogue: he played to a ten that day, four under his handicap. I lost one golf ball to him and he reminded me five times that I owed him a golf ball. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of you, not only for coming to this world wilderness congress but also for your kindness to me when I have visited your countries. It is true that I have sometimes had to face hostile demonstrations because I am a South African. The demonstrations were unpleasant but then you are never a man unlesss you can accept something in adversity. You can always accept things when the going is easy. Perhaps you will leave South Africa with some bad opinions but you will go back with some good ones too. You will see that as a people we are facing various kinds of adversity but good South Africans, and there are many of us, are doing things to make this what I think is the greatest country in the world.
