I have strong views about South African politics and I still don't feel I need to make public statements.
Coming from a farming background, I saw nothing out of the ordinary in running barefoot, although it seemed to startle the rest of the athletics world. I have always enjoyed going barefoot and when I was growing up I seldom wore shoes, even when I went into town.
I will never regret not denouncing apartheid.
Tea-shops were to become my favourite haunts in England.
