I Grew Up With Protests, Marches, Demonstrations,

I Don't Think Any Musician Ever Thinks About Making A Statement. I Think Everybody Goes Into Music Loving It.

When I Left South Africa In 1960 I Was 20 Years Old. I Wanted To Try To Get An Education, And Music Education Was Not Available For Me In South Africa.

I Had To Run Away From Home In Order To Be A Musician. Because I Came From A Family Of... My Father Was A Health Inspector; My Mother Was A Social Worker. And I Was Pretty Smart In School. So They Expected Me To Be Some Kind Of Academic - Schoolteacher, Or Doctor, Lawyer - And They Were Very Disappointed When I Told Them I Wanted To Be A Musician.

In My View, Africa's Real Problems Are Cultural.

I Am A Forward-looking Person And Live In The Moment To Build For The Future.
