Smartness, a good appearance, courtesy, delicacy are not yet norms, are not yet an integral part of the approach of workers in the state apparatus, of their approach either to work or to dealing with the public.

The state must be the first to be organized and totally committed to serving the interests of the people. We must always be clear that the example is set at the top.

We must take the initiative; we must be permanently on the offensive. It is the battle of class struggle. We must keep the enemy always on the defensive.

Samora Machel Quotes
