I don't support Cape secession any more than I support secession by Scotland - Lord Peter Hain

Loading player...
South African anti-apartheid activist Lord Peter Hain joins the BizNews Power Hour to discuss the release of his memoir, A Pretoria Boy: The Story of South Africa’s ‘Public Enemy Number One’, and what it was like growing up in Pretoria with activist parents. Hain reflects on what is happening in South Africa now and gives his honest view of Cape secession. His advice is to learn and draw inspiration from the liberation fighters of the past in order to change things for the better. "There is good in South Africa despite the bad. There is excellence, despite some of the chaos. There are incredible entrepreneurs, despite the dead hand of bankrupt and badly run state-owned enterprises. I still think the country's got great potential, and I hope the bad can be beaten by the good. But it won't be unless we do something about it. Change is only ever brought about by minorities acting. It needs mass support to deliver it, but it's only minorities who give the leadership." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
