Neil grew up in Norwich in England, and lived for a few years in Aberystwyth in Wales. Johannesburg has been his home for most of his life. In this conversation Neil talks about his love for his adopted city and country. Neil is one of those refreshing people who, if you say anything about times in South Africa being bad, reminds you fiercely how much worse things were in the past.  About the damage to individual lives and communities, that will take generations to repair.
