WATCH: Iconic South Africans step out for charity gala

The 21 Icons Charity Auction and Gala Dinner took place at the weekend, and we were lucky enough to be there surrounded by a generation of iconic South Africans. Watch us speak to the likes of George Bizos, Kumi Naidoo and John Kani.

21 Icons is a photo-documentary project by Australian-born photographer Adrian Steirn. The project showcases extraordinary people who used their craft to bring positive change to society. This year's celebratory figures include Yvonne Chaka Chaka, Nelson Mandela, Johnny Clegg, Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu, Advocate George Bizos and artist William Kentridge. 

Many of the icons gathered over the weekend for the 21 Icons Charity Auction and Gala Dinner. Jennifer Sanasie spoke to them about their fight for South Africa, and what it means to them to be a part of this project. Watch.
