my guest is south african jazz legend and political activist hugh masekela. his life and music have reflected the struggles of the anti—apartheid hero, and the years of black majority rule. so, why does he now describe south africa as "fast turning into a rubbish dump, and becoming removed from its authentic african culture"? hugh masekela, welcome to hardtalk. thank you, thank you, zeinab. you were born in 1939 in witbank, 100 miles east ofjohannesburg. you said "if i have a trumpet, i won't bother anybody". you say music is your religion? well, i was obsessed... i was actually bewitched by music from infancy. when i was five years old, my parents had to get me away from the gramophone and help me play the piano, with piano lessons. nine years later, i saw a movie about a trumpet player. it was a biopic, called "the young man with the horn". i had to play the trumpet. in fact, it was a man of religion, father trevor huddlestone, who gave you your first trumpet? he was a chaplain of my boarding school, st peters injohannesburg. yes, he was interested in everyb

that's really the south african ory. the dream is there, we all agree. : what did i know about south africa before i came here? exactly nothing as it turns out. but i think based on what i've seen is that if the world can get it right here, a country with a past like south africa's, if they can figure out how to make it work here for everybody, absorb all the people flooding in from all over africa, continue to make mandela's dream a reality, maybe there is hope for the rest of us. >>> after nine days of threats of imprisonment, confiscation of footage, and what was the most chaotic, difficult, yet amazing trip of my life, the last thing that stands between us and our flight home is the reason we came. the congo river itself.
