let's get more on that. we have, i may suffer tame, a south african journalist who made a documentary about desmond to, to ali, welcome to the program. first. can you give us some of your impressions of to, to when you met him? well, you know, he's infectious love. i think that's with every one, say the net something i think her all of us will miss because he used it so effectively over the years to diffuse 10 situations and sometimes just to cheer people up and in some ways. yeah, he did. may. there was a world a better place and he was just so fearless, m wild retaining. he's basic humanity, he's a born too. um and in a he look up any space we entered and it was so small, it's in stature, but he had such a huge presence. and i think that's what you know,

all of us end up in iraq, mundane are gone. he's gone and it's one has to look to the future. he talks a lot about restorative justice. what exactly does that mean and would you say it's been achieved? difficult question. i think this sort of the idea of restorative, you know, the faith was a guided, everything that and desmond duty did and off to when democracy came in 1994. the question was, how do you deal with the prostitutes of a phosphate? and that's when, when de la and 2 together develop this idea of restorative justice of people coming into a public space and confessing, they sins what they've done and all asking forgiveness from the victims.

and at the time for 2 years like these hearings, which he cheered was held all over the country and p called it heal is sort of a cleansing and a healing process. starting in recent years, it has been criticized especially a younger generation who felt that more of a perpetrators should have been brought to trial. and even in 22 at mid to late in life, south africa school is very much a broken society. but it's was at the start of trying to start something new is sort of a book to sort of, you know, admitting that atrocities on both sides also on the side of the liberation movements and trying to move forward. and but it's a long process. that's definitely

a complicated process for sure. that's nowhere near finishing desmond to to, of course i'll go out on a limb here and say most people know his name. most people know something about him, but how will he be remembered now and how will is mission be carried forward by future generations? well i think in this last week, a lot of young people is discovered, you know, the generation, the born free says we call them in south africa, is born off to the end of discover to we was and there is sin of rebirth of like he is also a man for the future, not only for the falls, we can take what we learned from him and who do you know, both, both the nation and also even in the rest of africa. a lot of clergy, a lot of people have faith, all sort of looking at what, how did he achieve what he achieved, and how can we use that to, you know,

being and religious people in society. this may be broken and stay above the political fray and be immediate mediating specially and symbolically but a lot of church li, this for example, already. so i think that is the lesson to be learned also for the future. it's all very interesting and we will see how things develop where you are. only 17. thank you so much for bringing that to us. thank you very much for having me now after the parties and fireworks from the night before january 1st was a public holiday for much of the world. gave some people some much needed relaxation years day also brings many of its own traditions, some of which you may know involve water, but gone law many swear by it,
