Last week, South Africans came together to mourn the loss of musician Johnny Clegg. Clegg, who was born in the UK, moved to South Africa as a young child. His wholehearted embrace of Zulu culture and his political advocacy against racism and apartheid set him apart in a relentlessly divided country. In this episode, Alec Hogg describes his experiences at Clegg's memorial service and reflects on the life of a great South African. On a more sombre note, Alec and I discuss his visit to KwaZulu-Natal and the evidence of corruption and mismanagement that he sees in Zuma's heartland. – Felicity Duncan
