Synopsis

Advocate. Public Speaker. Political Activist. These are a few of the mighty professions that don’t even begin to describe the enormity of the stature of the man. And yet, he is more than that: Husband, father and humanitarian are some of the words that attempt to bring out the triumphant, hopeful and grounded nature of the man whose aura, warmth and contribution to the South African society cannot be denied.
