Outliers: Jay Naidoo's story continues - A lifelong fighter for our right to question anything and everything

Loading player...
There’s much to digest from this interview with Jay Naidoo, a now 68-year-old who grew up as the last-born of eight children - and whose life was overturned when Apartheid’s Group Areas Act collided with the location of a modest family home. The social engineering system switched him from medical student to trade unionist; but it was intellect and passion that propelled the iconic activist into the top rank of anti-Apartheid warriors. In this moving, reflective discussion, Naidoo explains why he still refuses to accept the obvious, and continues to publicly pose thorny questions in a personal quest to leave the world a better place.
