Foreigners are more hopeful for SA than South Africans - La Grange

We talk to former president Nelson Mandela's personal assistant, Zelda La Grange, who has returned from her international book tour. 

La Grange tells us about the feedback she has received from the book both internationally and locally and why foreigners she's met continue to be optimistic about South Africa.

South Africans who've read her memoirs have contacted her and thanked her for giving them a better understanding of different races, and their histories. Watch.
