Maharaj famously smuggled Mandela's autobiography"Long Walk to Freedom" out of prison and joined Mandela's cabinet after he won the first free elections on April 27, 1994. "The country is facing a moment where there is a conjunction of different crises that are all feeding into one major crisis," Maharaj said, citing graft, poverty and unemployment.Maharaj believes that current President Cyril Ramaphosa is tackling corruption, albeit too slowly for some."But what I think Cyril had done right is that in the face of these challenges of weeding out corruption, he has never overstepped the boundaries of law," he said.
