Episode 7, Mar 21, 2018, 09:37 AM
Dipak Patel is a former MK commander, a former Director-General in the Department of Transport and now an investor and social entrepreneur who spends his time between Johannesburg and New York.
In this episode Dipak talks about growing up in Durban, joining the armed struggle at the age of eighteen and finding himself as part of the negotiations process that enabled the transition to democracy at the age of twenty-seven.
The interview took place before the ANC elective conference in December 2017 but contains interesting reflections on the current state of the ANC and the possibility of recovering from the Zuma years.
