The ANC blames the moral decay and social ills in the country on apartheid.
Motshekga added that the governing party was also seized with the agenda of fostering the values of the country's constitution to tackle socio-historical divisions"caused by many years of colonial and apartheid rule that flourished on reification of human difference, especially along racial and ethnic lines".
According to the ANC, one of the ways to resolve this was for South Africans to speak to each other as opposed to speaking against each other. Motshekga said students who were calling for a decolonised national anthem were misinformed and needed the guidance of the elderly. "We do not want to create a country for students, we want to create a country for all South Africans, young and old. And Madiba when he came with the proposal that we endorse the national anthem which we still endorse, he had foresight and knew that as a leader of society we must not leave anyone outside however a minority they are."
