Hatang does however believe that "the country of Madiba's dreams is in our grasp".
"In South Africa we talk a lot about #StateCapture. I want to talk about the capture of democracy.
"We are not living a reality of Madiba's dreams. Madiba's legacy requires us to be courageous. We need to decide when do we fight and I don't mean people should be armed."
