and that is what we did south africa. was just about the only country that voluntarily gave up its nuclear weapons how do you think the world would. get countries like north korea and israel to give up the us i don't think there's any quick fix for that situation or a simple recipe what i do believe ynys a nuclear weapon free world are advocated and i have done so from many platforms in the past years those who have it legitimately in terms of international law and agreements need to be part of the solution the basis on which for instance the usa england france and russia where now to have it and continue to have it but others not has fallen away that was how the balance of power was at the end of the second world war that balance of power i have changed fundamentally so the starting point for a big review of the whole issue of. nuclear weapons lies in a new debate but not just a debate in a new round table discussion to review and revise existing agreements with a view to reach a new agreement which says all those who ha

i feel that strongly here in south africa. a place i came in a state of near total ignorance, loaded with preconceptions. for the first part of my life, the south africa i knew was not a happy place, or a good place. it was a pariah state. surrealistically, outrageously divided into black and white. a throwback to attitudes we thought we've long learned to reject. the nationalist government in south africa enacted apartheid laws in 1948. who you could marry, where you lived, where you could walk, be educated, everything decided by racist laws backed by police, army and secret services. the institutionalized racial discrimination was designed to maintain white minority power, and economic ily suppress the black and mixed race south africans who lived in townships, mostly in poverty. in 1923, the african national congress was formed. by 1961, it had been radicalized by the influence of a young nelson mandela, among others, and formed an arm wing called the spear of the nation. >> you see africans being able to develop in this co

a sense that, really, south africa is not the south africa they were promised. jonathan jansen says that when speaking to students, if the late nelson mandela gets any mention at all, it's as a sellout. "the man who led south africa into a soft transition which left white privilege undisturbed and black poverty undiminished." he is right, isn't he? he's wrong. he's wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong. he's not wrong to say that that's what people are saying, but what they are saying misses almost completely the reality of what was achieved. we had to destroy the system of apartheid to open the way to economic transformation. but it hasn't happened. if we tried everything at once we would have had chaos, disaster, collapse. people would have said, "black majority rule just leads to chaos." so we dismantled the institutions of apartheid, we integrated the army, and we gave power to parliament to bring about transformation. if parliament has not done enough, that is a very valid question, but don't blame mandela, don't blame the constitution. i am not a lawyer's lawy
