1
00:00:00,660 --> 00:00:02,940
(phone ringing)

2
00:00:02,940 --> 00:00:06,000
Today, President Mandela
announced that in his opinion

3
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:06,833
Thanks.

4
00:00:06,833 --> 00:00:08,370
his salary is too high.

5
00:00:08,370 --> 00:00:10,560
That's right, they're all overpaid.

6
00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:12,480
He has therefore decided to donate a third

7
00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:15,030
of his monthly income to charity.

8
00:00:15,030 --> 00:00:16,380
(laughing)

9
00:00:16,380 --> 00:00:17,460
Give me the houses and cars

10
00:00:17,460 --> 00:00:19,653
and I'll donate a third of my salary too.

11
00:00:20,582 --> 00:00:21,990
He would not, in a million years.

12
00:00:21,990 --> 00:00:23,460
Hello.

13
00:00:23,460 --> 00:00:24,510
Hang on a moment, please.

14
00:00:24,510 --> 00:00:26,280
President Mandela says
that he wishes to set

15
00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:27,559
an example to others.

16
00:00:27,559 --> 00:00:28,989
Yes. Of course.

17
00:00:28,989 --> 00:00:32,489
(audience on TV clapping)

18
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:36,037
They're lining their
pockets as fast as they can.

19
00:00:36,037 --> 00:00:38,214
Must be his girlfriend, eh, Nerine?

20
00:00:38,214 --> 00:00:39,904
Oh, he knows I'll bloody will kill him.

21
00:00:39,904 --> 00:00:42,562
(laughing)

22
00:00:42,562 --> 00:00:44,793
What? Who was that?

23
00:00:45,750 --> 00:00:48,093
Well, I told you it was his girlfriend.

24
00:00:49,749 --> 00:00:51,894
I've been invited to tea.

25
00:00:51,894 --> 00:00:53,530
With who?

26
00:00:53,530 --> 00:00:55,404
The President.

27
00:00:55,404 --> 00:00:57,300
President of Westside Rugby?

28
00:00:57,300 --> 00:00:59,580
Count your fingers after
he shakes your hand, boy.

29
00:00:59,580 --> 00:01:00,513
The President.

30
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:07,983
He wants me over for tea, week after next.

31
00:01:10,860 --> 00:01:13,770
Mr. Francois, you must tell Madiba

32
00:01:13,770 --> 00:01:17,460
that the bus service is
very bad and too expensive.

33
00:01:17,460 --> 00:01:19,650
He must do something about it.

34
00:01:19,650 --> 00:01:20,675
Goodnight, everybody.

35
00:01:20,675 --> 00:01:21,675
Goodnight.

36
00:01:22,620 --> 00:01:23,453
Thank you.

37
00:01:24,420 --> 00:01:26,153
What the hell does he want with you?

38
00:01:29,586 --> 00:01:30,836
I don't know.

39
00:01:32,278 --> 00:01:35,028
(birds chirping)

40
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:38,820
Relax, you've met him before.

41
00:01:38,820 --> 00:01:40,590
I should resign on the rugby field.

42
00:01:40,590 --> 00:01:42,420
And you couldn't even vote.

43
00:01:42,420 --> 00:01:44,220
Come on, he's still the president.

44
00:01:45,150 --> 00:01:45,983
I play rugby.

45
00:01:45,983 --> 00:01:47,400
What am I gonna say to the guy?

46
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:49,350
Say to him thank you for inviting me.

47
00:01:50,820 --> 00:01:53,401
What if I pull something
stupid in front of him?

48
00:01:53,401 --> 00:01:54,540
You won't.

49
00:01:54,540 --> 00:01:56,240
Okay, I'll pick you up right here.

50
00:01:59,340 --> 00:02:00,173
Bye.

51
00:02:00,173 --> 00:02:01,006
[Paparazzi] Mr. Francois.

52
00:02:02,192 --> 00:02:03,025
Francois, picture please.

53
00:02:03,025 --> 00:02:05,942
(cameras clicking)

54
00:02:07,198 --> 00:02:12,198
[Paparazzi] Over here, okay?

55
00:02:12,801 --> 00:02:15,634
[Security Guard] Good afternoon.

56
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:27,000
It's use coming for three.

57
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,340
Come on, if you want me
to get his autograph.

58
00:02:29,340 --> 00:02:30,660
Who?

59
00:02:30,660 --> 00:02:31,653
Francois Pienaar.

60
00:02:32,730 --> 00:02:33,750
Who wants to escort him in?

61
00:02:33,750 --> 00:02:34,583
I will.

62
00:02:35,550 --> 00:02:36,810
Hey, no autographs, okay?

63
00:02:36,810 --> 00:02:38,410
I know how to do my job, okay?

64
00:02:40,530 --> 00:02:42,660
Who's this Francois Pienaar?

65
00:02:42,660 --> 00:02:44,250
You can't be serious.

66
00:02:44,250 --> 00:02:46,290
He's the captain of the spring box.

67
00:02:46,290 --> 00:02:48,210
I like soccer myself.

68
00:02:48,210 --> 00:02:50,190
Well, you know what they say about soccer?

69
00:02:50,190 --> 00:02:52,680
It's a gentleman's game
played by hooligans.

70
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:55,170
On the other hand, rugby
is a hooligans game

71
00:02:55,170 --> 00:02:56,040
played by gentlemen.

72
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:56,928
Yeah, yeah.

73
00:02:56,928 --> 00:02:58,110
Yeah, heard that one before.

74
00:02:58,110 --> 00:02:59,660
It wasn't funny the first time.

75
00:03:02,550 --> 00:03:04,050
Can I ask you the question Lieutenant?

76
00:03:04,050 --> 00:03:04,950
Yeah, of course.

77
00:03:05,970 --> 00:03:06,820
What's he like?

78
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:09,660
When I worked for the previous president

79
00:03:09,660 --> 00:03:11,670
it was my job to be invisible.

80
00:03:11,670 --> 00:03:13,410
This president, when he
found out that I liked

81
00:03:13,410 --> 00:03:15,210
English toffee he brought me some back

82
00:03:15,210 --> 00:03:16,510
from his visit in England.

83
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:19,110
To him, no one's invisible.

84
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:22,200
That's where you wait.

85
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:24,300
One of his assistants will come for you

86
00:03:24,300 --> 00:03:27,030
and the bathroom's over
there if you need it.

87
00:03:27,030 --> 00:03:28,173
Okay. Thanks.

88
00:03:30,990 --> 00:03:33,210
What are our chances in the World Cup?

89
00:03:33,210 --> 00:03:34,113
I mean, for real.

90
00:03:36,690 --> 00:03:37,770
We'll do our best.

91
00:03:37,770 --> 00:03:38,943
That I can guarantee.

92
00:03:43,287 --> 00:03:45,150
(phone ringing)

93
00:03:45,150 --> 00:03:46,583
[Secretary] Office of the President.

94
00:03:52,860 --> 00:03:54,780
So what is he like?

95
00:03:54,780 --> 00:03:57,690
Well, he is not as big as he looks on TV

96
00:03:57,690 --> 00:04:00,423
and we don't stand up bloody
chance in the World Cup.

97
00:04:07,168 --> 00:04:10,980
(indistinct chatter)

98
00:04:10,980 --> 00:04:12,630
Mr. Pienaar.

99
00:04:12,630 --> 00:04:13,780
Right this way, please.

100
00:04:15,423 --> 00:04:17,652
(knocking on door)

101
00:04:17,652 --> 00:04:18,633
Go on.

102
00:04:20,730 --> 00:04:21,873
Francois.

103
00:04:22,980 --> 00:04:24,303
What an honor.

104
00:04:25,410 --> 00:04:26,823
I am so excited.

105
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:29,790
Thank you for coming
all this way to see me.

106
00:04:29,790 --> 00:04:30,623
Yes, sir.

107
00:04:30,623 --> 00:04:32,820
Thank you for inviting me, Mr. President.

108
00:04:32,820 --> 00:04:35,583
So tell me Francois, how is your ankle?

109
00:04:36,540 --> 00:04:37,740
My ankle?

110
00:04:37,740 --> 00:04:39,990
I was told it was hurt.

111
00:04:39,990 --> 00:04:40,893
Has it healed?

112
00:04:42,540 --> 00:04:45,240
The truth is you never really play

113
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:47,430
at a hundred percent no matter what.

114
00:04:47,430 --> 00:04:48,900
Ah yes.

115
00:04:48,900 --> 00:04:50,790
In sports as in life, eh?

116
00:04:50,790 --> 00:04:51,690
Yes, sir.

117
00:04:51,690 --> 00:04:52,653
Please, sit.

118
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:54,930
Take this one.

119
00:04:54,930 --> 00:04:57,063
Looking into the light hurts my eyes.

120
00:05:00,540 --> 00:05:02,013
Mrs. Brits.

121
00:05:02,850 --> 00:05:05,730
You are a shining light in my day.

122
00:05:05,730 --> 00:05:06,563
Yes, sir.

123
00:05:07,710 --> 00:05:10,290
Mrs. Brits, this is Francois Pienaar,

124
00:05:10,290 --> 00:05:12,123
captain of the spring box.

125
00:05:15,510 --> 00:05:17,133
Shall I pour sir?

126
00:05:17,133 --> 00:05:17,966
No, no.

127
00:05:17,966 --> 00:05:20,340
I would prefer to do it myself.

128
00:05:20,340 --> 00:05:22,293
Thank you very much, Mrs. Brits.

129
00:05:25,230 --> 00:05:26,930
How do you like your tea Francois?

130
00:05:27,900 --> 00:05:29,223
Just milk please.

131
00:05:31,530 --> 00:05:36,033
The English have given us
many things, including rugby.

132
00:05:37,410 --> 00:05:39,243
But afternoon tea,

133
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:42,513
that is the greatest.

134
00:05:43,493 --> 00:05:46,020
Here we are.

135
00:05:46,020 --> 00:05:47,670
Thank you, sir.

136
00:05:47,670 --> 00:05:49,773
You all have a very difficult job.

137
00:05:50,905 --> 00:05:51,738
I do.

138
00:05:54,330 --> 00:05:56,010
I have a trading business.

139
00:05:56,010 --> 00:05:57,723
Captain of the spring box.

140
00:05:59,220 --> 00:06:01,053
A very difficult job.

141
00:06:02,580 --> 00:06:04,830
Well, not compared to
yours, Mr. President.

142
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:09,480
Well, no one is trying to tear my head off

143
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:10,530
while I'm doing mine.

144
00:06:11,730 --> 00:06:13,170
Yes, sir.

145
00:06:13,170 --> 00:06:14,463
Tell me Francois.

146
00:06:16,110 --> 00:06:19,230
What is your philosophy on leadership?

147
00:06:19,230 --> 00:06:22,143
How do you inspire your
team to do their best?

148
00:06:24,390 --> 00:06:25,680
By example.

149
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:27,840
I've always thought to
lead by example, sir.

150
00:06:27,840 --> 00:06:29,310
Well, that is right.

151
00:06:29,310 --> 00:06:33,990
That is exactly right, but
how to get them to be better

152
00:06:33,990 --> 00:06:35,553
than they think they can be.

153
00:06:36,810 --> 00:06:38,793
That is very difficult, I find.

154
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:41,913
Inspiration, perhaps.

155
00:06:42,810 --> 00:06:46,230
How do we inspire ourselves to greatness,

156
00:06:46,230 --> 00:06:47,643
when nothing less will do?

157
00:06:48,570 --> 00:06:51,603
How do we inspire everyone around us?

158
00:06:53,250 --> 00:06:56,883
I sometimes think it is by
using the work of others.

159
00:06:59,190 --> 00:07:00,363
On Robin island,

160
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:04,263
when things got very bad,

161
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,193
I found inspiration in a poem.

162
00:07:09,090 --> 00:07:10,380
A poem?

163
00:07:10,380 --> 00:07:11,643
A Victorian poem.

164
00:07:13,770 --> 00:07:14,913
Just words,

165
00:07:16,140 --> 00:07:18,480
but they helped me to stand

166
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:21,453
when all I wanted to do was to lie down.

167
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:27,510
But you didn't come all
this way to hear an old man

168
00:07:27,510 --> 00:07:29,027
talk about things that make no sense.

169
00:07:29,027 --> 00:07:31,260
No, no please, Mr. President,

170
00:07:31,260 --> 00:07:32,760
it makes complete sense to me.

171
00:07:33,930 --> 00:07:35,760
On the day of a big match,

172
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:40,110
say a test, in the bus on
the way to the stadium,

173
00:07:40,110 --> 00:07:41,730
nobody talks.

174
00:07:41,730 --> 00:07:45,600
Ah, yes, they are all preparing.

175
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:49,020
Right, but when I think we're ready,

176
00:07:49,020 --> 00:07:51,033
I have the bus driver put on a song.

177
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:53,220
Something I've chosen.

178
00:07:53,220 --> 00:07:54,053
One we all know

179
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:57,910
and we listen to the words together

180
00:08:00,150 --> 00:08:00,983
and it helps.

181
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:05,670
I remember when I was invited

182
00:08:05,670 --> 00:08:09,543
to the 1992 Olympics in Barcelona.

183
00:08:11,220 --> 00:08:15,003
Everybody in the stadium
greeted me with a song.

184
00:08:16,530 --> 00:08:21,530
At the time, the future, our
future seemed very bleak.

185
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:27,810
But to hear that song
in the voices of people

186
00:08:27,810 --> 00:08:32,793
from all over our planet, made
me proud to be South African.

187
00:08:34,110 --> 00:08:37,293
It inspired me to come home and do better.

188
00:08:38,790 --> 00:08:41,793
It allowed me to expect more of myself.

189
00:08:43,650 --> 00:08:46,110
May I ask what was the song, sir?

190
00:08:46,110 --> 00:08:50,583
Well, it was Nkosi Sikelel' iAfrika.

191
00:08:52,410 --> 00:08:54,483
A very inspiring song.

192
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:58,690
We need inspiration, Francois

193
00:09:00,300 --> 00:09:03,153
because in order to build our nation,

194
00:09:04,350 --> 00:09:08,103
we must all exceed our own expectations.

195
00:09:12,629 --> 00:09:15,796
(clock tower chiming)

196
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:24,273
So what's he like?

197
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:29,550
He's not like anyone I've ever met before.

198
00:09:29,550 --> 00:09:31,050
Yeah, well what did he want?

199
00:09:34,530 --> 00:09:35,400
What did he talk about?

200
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:36,300
Did he talk about rap beer?

201
00:09:36,300 --> 00:09:37,450
What did he talk about?

202
00:09:38,850 --> 00:09:40,200
Francois?

203
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:41,340
It's like talking to a brick wall.

204
00:09:41,340 --> 00:09:42,303
What did he say?

205
00:09:47,490 --> 00:09:49,920
I think he wants us to win the World Cup.
