When I was 18, I had the honour of going to South Africa on a scholarship at a time when the fight against apartheid was at an all-time high. I was taken into the township of Soweto by African National Congress (ANC) sympathisers, where I was witness to the devastating poverty and extreme inequality that they lived in and fought against.
I was passionate and hopeful, I dreamed of a fairer, more equal world for all.
