There were these iconic scenes of Mandela in the Springbok jersey with the Rugby World Cup at that historic win.
speaker_1HOST
There was all of this chatter about the Rainbow Nation and the unification of South Africa.
speaker_1HOST
But I wonder whether you feel there was, I suppose... too much focus on the symbolism of that World Cup and of this great man, but that the actual machinations of the desegregation and the renationalization of South Africa, the coalface, the real work, was overlooked in favor of those symbols.
Francois Johannes CleophasGUEST
One is very careful what one says, you know, because Nelson Mandela was put forward as South Africa's saviour and Nelson Mandela brought about great changes.
VictorHOST
Yeah.
Richard VoogtGUEST
So it's like a country with a lot of rejuvenation and hope and Rainbow Nation, so-
VictorHOST

ball into the area.
Tony JohnsonGUEST
things have changed so much in South Africa over the last 10, 15 years that since they were there last, where, I mean, you just look at the crowds now, it's just a completely different look.
Tony JohnsonGUEST
It really is the Rainbow Nation in the crowd and wearing spring-blocked jerseys.
Tony JohnsonGUEST
But there's still a core of people, and there are people that will come up from the Cape to support the All Blacks, from the coastline to support the All Blacks, as they always have.
Tony JohnsonGUEST
And there'll be plenty of All Blacks supporters there.
Dan CorderHOST
Okay, St. Louis IX III, I assume, unless it's St. Louis X III or St. Louis VI III, I don't know.
Dan CorderHOST
So, we love talking about Rainbow Nation names like Sasha Feinberg and Gomezulu, personal favorite.
Dan CorderHOST
Such a good Rainbow Nation name.
Dan CorderHOST
That is a very good Rainbow Nation name.
Dan CorderHOST
So, yesterday, I was thrilled with Stefan, Joel Govindraju.
Dan CorderHOST
Joel, like J-O-E-L.
Dan CorderHOST
And then I insisted online in calling him Stefanish Govindraju.
Dan CorderHOST
That's the only joy I really took, along with him being arrested out of him allegedly stealing 600 million rand from Timby's Hospital.
Rob HersovGUEST
They're very disappointed in what's happened.
Rob HersovGUEST
I mean, the words got out about what a disaster the ANC is, no longer the Rainbow Nation.
Rob HersovGUEST
Nelson Mandela's legacy is gone.
Rob HersovGUEST
And they think it's hugely disappointing, but they would never consider looking at business here.
Dan CorderHOST
is that in the last 24 hours one of the tembisa hospital principal kingpins who seems to have profited to the value of 600 million rand the second most money after hanguani maumela allegedly out of the looting of tembisa hospital was arrested at our tambo international airport after he returned from what seems to have been allegedly his farewell tour to the world before entering into a plea deal, which will probably see him end up in jail.
Dan CorderHOST
Yes, according to Jeff Wicks' incredible reporting, Stefan Joel Govindraju, again, Rainbow Nation names, we love to see them.
Dan CorderHOST
Stefan Joel Govindraju was arrested in the last 24 hours upon arrival at Otambo International Airport.
Dan CorderHOST
He was the one who commanded a syndicate of shell companies used to extract 600 million rand from Gauteng Health Department through Tembisa Hospital.
Dan CorderHOST
He's not been charged.
Dan CorderHOST
He is allegedly the person who profited the most amongst nine different criminal syndicates, distinct criminal syndicates who robbed Timbisa Hospital to the value allegedly of 800 million rand to Marmela and his syndicate.
Dan CorderHOST
The second... greatest profiteer is a man called stefan joel govindraju and again what a phenomenal rainbow nation name like up there with cinesipo schreiber amongst others the journalists at the sunday times we love these new south african names and stefan govindraju is one of those so he was arrested He was seized by the Hawks at Oatambo International Airport on Friday afternoon.
Dan CorderHOST
So technically, this was the first aeroplane bomber of the weekend because it was before the airlink bomber at Cape Town Stadium on Saturday evening.
Jeremy WellsHOST
