I will never regret not denouncing apartheid.

I can drink tea until the cows come home and I love the atmosphere in tea-shops.

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 no longer run barefoot.

There were always a couple of loonies who caused all the trouble.

I will never regret not denouncing apartheid.
