Today I gave a talk at
@TedXOPorto
Nelson Mandela's legacy is more relevant than ever. Why?
1. He chose a future for all South Africans rather than just a select group.
2. He deliberately chose peace over conflict to avert a bloody civil war because he knew the pain of civil war…
“I was brought up to fear this man, and that just destroyed my defenses immediately.”

Can Govt also STOP asking us to pay R6 fuel levy on every litre of petrol until they have recovered looted money at PIC, Eskom,SAA,Transnet,RAF. It's dishonest, immoral to expect us to continue paying while hardly anyone from govt has been jailed for corruption.
