Ngiyanemukela, delegates! The Republic of South Africa greets you with open arms, and your fellow parliamentarians eagerly await your arrival in Cape Town! South Africa holds many namesakes, including the second most populated country south of the equator, a biodiversity hotspot, the 24th most populous nation in the world, and the “rainbow nation.” Will you be the representative to add to this list? Or will your efforts be directed towards our thriving economy, considered to be the most industrialized and advanced in Africa? Perhaps you will turn your attention to our foreign relations, as we strive to make a bigger impact in the international order? Or maybe you will join us in our development and answer the questions about China's Belt and Road initiative? An age of limitless possibilities is ahead of us, will you head the call and lead South Africa to a brighter future? Ike e: Ixarra Ilke!
