There's never been a weak South African or Australian team. They are fighters.
There is a tendency just to talk about foreign investors. Over 80 per cent of new investment in the South African economy is South African and therefore the engagement of the South African investor is also a critical part of this process.
I don't really understand Darren Lehmann coming out and saying the South African crowd has been out of order. Any England player, even media, who have toured Australia can laugh at those comments because some of the things we hear on the pitch from Australian supporters, known as 'banter,' I know is worse than in South Africa.
We do not have a South African as a member of the African Commission. The President of the Commission comes from Mali, the Deputy comes from Rwanda and then we have got all these other members, ordinary commissioners. There is no South African there. And the reason, again, for that is not because we didn't have South Africans who are competent.
I am very good with dialects, but the two that I can't do for some reason are the South African and Australian.
I remember when I first came to America, nobody had a clue what a black Englishman was. I was either South African or Australian to them.
Both of my parents were judo fighters from the national team. So I've always been around fighters my whole childhood.
After Nigeria, we are the second biggest black African nation. We are the headquarters of the African Union. We are the only African country that has never been colonized. This is perhaps the last surviving African civilization.
I'm so grateful to have been able to go to the world and tell the story of South African women and South African children. As I stood there for Miss Universe, I spoke about leadership and I spoke about empowering young women and young boys as well.
The toughest challenge I faced came right at the beginning of my career with 'Blood Knot,' which was trying to convince South African audiences that South African stories also had a place on the stage.
I once told a white South African woman that her food was as weak as the Rand, and she complained of racism. Now I watch what I say.
I like to make bombueti, which is basically the South African national dish. It's basically a South African curry shepherd's pie kind of thing.
Nelson Mandela sat in a South African prison for 27 years. He was nonviolent. He negotiated his way out of jail. His honor and suffering of 27 years in a South African prison is really ultimately what brought about the freedom of South Africa. That is nonviolence.
Our soccer has always been weak in team-work. Iranians have been the best in the world individually, but as a team we are one step behind.
I do bring an intimate knowledge of the South African team. I know the little idiosyncrasies of each of them.
Winning an official World Cup with the South African team had become my burning ambition.
Crime is fast destroying the moral fabric of South African cities, and is becoming a major threat to South African democracy as well as the prominent manifestation of a "class war" that is largely a continuation of the "race war" of yesterday.
