Andrew Feinstein: Zuma's nuclear obsession makes Arms Deal's $300m rake-off mere chump change

Andrew Feinstein has come full circle - a young ANC Parliamentarian in South Africa's first democratically elected Government, he resigned and left the country after discovering his colleagues had accepted $300m in bribes when initiating the country's unnecessary R70bn Arms Procurement Deal. But even those numbers are paltry compared with the plundering which will happen if President Jacob Zuma gets to implement the proposed nuclear power build programme he is so obsessed about. Feinstein reckons the nuclear deal will generate tens of billions in bribes - and the only way to stop it is for South Africans to once again march in the street. In this fascinating interview in London, he told me his journey from politician to investigator and now a best-selling author whose latest book has been turned into a 90 minute documentary by Hollywood star Danny Glover. Feinstein is using this movie to warn South Africans that their country's sovereignty is at risk - and unless they stop the nuclear build, as with the Arms Deal, they will repent at leisure.
