Francois Pienaar
HARDtalk meets Francois Pienaar who captained the World Cup winning South African rugby team in 1995 and received the trophy from Nelson Mandela wearing the Springbok jersey.
HARDtalk is in Cape Town to meet Francois Pienaar who captained the South African rugby team when it won the World Cup in 1995. Before the game Nelson Mandela walked into the stadium in Johannesburg wearing the Springbok rugby jersey, which was once seen as a symbol of white minority rule. It came to be viewed as a defining moment for the emerging �Rainbow Nation.� Francois Pienaar went on to develop a friendship with Nelson Mandela. George Alagiah asks him whether the hope and optimism generated that day is still alive today?
