HOW THE PEOPLE OF SOUTH AFRICA WERE MISLED AND CAN RISE AGAIN

23 November 2017

Returning to South Africa, John Pilger delivers an inaugural lecture in Cape Town in memory of the anti-apartheid campaigner, Abdulhay Ahmed Saloojee. He asks why the struggle for freedom has yet to be won, why a form of apartheid still rules and why this oppression has become a model for much of the world in the 21st century.
