Hello, I'm Sally Taylor. Welcome to South Today. In tonight's programme: | :00:00. | :00:11. | |
tributes to Nelson Mandela and personal memories from his friend | :00:12. | :00:12. | |
and bodyguard. Many times he said to people that he | :00:13. | :00:17. | |
is not a saint, not a prophet, just an ordinary man who followed his | :00:18. | :00:18. | |
conscience. Praise from the Prince for the | :00:19. | :00:32. | |
Aldershot soldiers safely back from Afghanistan. | :00:33. | :00:34. | |
A lesson in language ` a pioneering scheme where children learn from | :00:35. | :00:36. | |
each other. And a taste of Yassa ` the Gambian | :00:37. | :00:48. | |
dish that this woman is hoping will hit supermarket shelves. | :00:49. | :01:00. | |
He was a colossus on the world stage but it was his ability to connect | :01:01. | :01:06. | |
with, and better the lives of ordinary people that made him | :01:07. | :01:09. | |
special. That's why people who never knew Nelson Mandela have gathered | :01:10. | :01:12. | |
now for a vigil in Southampton ` one of the many tributes from people | :01:13. | :01:16. | |
here in the South who feel touched by his death. A light for a man who | :01:17. | :01:31. | |
banished the darkness of apartheid. Tonight, Nelson Mandela was honoured | :01:32. | :01:36. | |
at a candlelit vigil in Southampton. I wanted to pay my respects because | :01:37. | :01:40. | |
he is an icon in the world. He is a great inspiration. We are | :01:41. | :01:47. | |
celebrating and are happy to be part of a society that experienced this | :01:48. | :01:55. | |
man. His strength and dignity during a | :01:56. | :01:58. | |
struggle for freedom have touched millions around the world, not least | :01:59. | :02:04. | |
here in the South. This South African man teaches at Bournemouth | :02:05. | :02:09. | |
University. He was at the 1995 Rugby World Cup for the poignant moment | :02:10. | :02:14. | |
when Mandela for a Springbok jersey. This was previously a symbol of | :02:15. | :02:20. | |
apartheid. You really solve the two races | :02:21. | :02:26. | |
accepting each other, but the most significant part was when he left | :02:27. | :02:32. | |
the stadium. It took us ten hours to get home and the distance was | :02:33. | :02:39. | |
probably only for five miles. This woman runs a South African | :02:40. | :02:44. | |
shop. She remembers being a little girl when the free elections took | :02:45. | :02:50. | |
place. There were some in the people voting, they were queueing all the | :02:51. | :02:52. | |
way down the road past my house. It was a hot day. It was great | :02:53. | :02:56. | |
because I could give them water and keep them going. I feel extremely | :02:57. | :03:03. | |
lucky to have been in the country when changes like that where needed | :03:04. | :03:11. | |
and happened. This film tells the true story of a | :03:12. | :03:15. | |
South African woman who forgave the man who ordered the shooting of her | :03:16. | :03:20. | |
daughter. The Berkshire film`maker attributes are ability to forgive to | :03:21. | :03:32. | |
Nelson Mandela's ability and legacy. He had a forgiving spirit in him and | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
it made its mark on South Africa. Of his death has caused much sadness, | :03:37. | :03:43. | |
many of what Nelson Mandela stood for will live on in future | :03:44. | :03:48. | |
generations. People may not necessarily know the | :03:49. | :03:51. | |
historical and Portugal significance of Mandela but they know that this | :03:52. | :04:02. | |
man is very important. Tonight, along with the morning been | :04:03. | :04:07. | |
a celebration of a man who is unlikely to be forgotten. | :04:08. | :04:13. | |
I'm joined now by Chris Lubbey, who was born in South Africa but now | :04:14. | :04:19. | |
lives in Fareham. He was an ANC activist who became Nelson Mandela's | :04:20. | :04:21. | |
personal bodyguard. Thank you for coming in. So many tributes and | :04:22. | :04:28. | |
wonderful words. You had a very intimate relationship with him. He | :04:29. | :04:36. | |
impressed me. He was a man who was a true leader. | :04:37. | :04:45. | |
He believed that South Africa should be free. He was a man who loved the | :04:46. | :04:52. | |
fact that people should live together and bond. He was of course | :04:53. | :05:02. | |
a very charismatic leader. After being imprisoned for 27 years, to | :05:03. | :05:09. | |
say I forgive you was amazing. He was a very humble man, wasn't he? | :05:10. | :05:18. | |
He wrote a letter to your parents. Absolutely. | :05:19. | :05:25. | |
This letter, he said to me one day. He knew that my mother was ill. He | :05:26. | :05:38. | |
took out this letter and said that he had typed it himself. He said | :05:39. | :05:45. | |
that in prison we did not have computers and I had a long time to | :05:46. | :05:58. | |
do it! I was very moved. He was intent on doing this act himself. | :05:59. | :06:04. | |
You worked for him. Did you like him as a person? | :06:05. | :06:12. | |
I loved him as a person, but he was a very disciplined man and laughed | :06:13. | :06:18. | |
discipline and I think that came about after having been through such | :06:19. | :06:33. | |
a struggle. He believed that we, as comrades, should be disciplined. He | :06:34. | :06:40. | |
would ask me: Why are your shoes not polished? How would you sum up your | :06:41. | :06:54. | |
feelings today? I am sad but yet privileged that for the first time | :06:55. | :07:03. | |
in my life I became a human being and I were that to Nelson Mandela. | :07:04. | :07:17. | |
A Government watchdog ` the National Audit Office ` has questioned the | :07:18. | :07:21. | |
potential of enterprise zones to create jobs. The zones are designed | :07:22. | :07:25. | |
to attract companies to areas being redeveloped. When unveiled in 2011, | :07:26. | :07:27. | |
the Government estimated they'd bring 54,000 new jobs nationally. | :07:28. | :07:30. | |
Earlier this year, that was cut by two thirds with an estimated 18,000 | :07:31. | :07:34. | |
new jobs at best. Land on the disused Daedalus airfield at | :07:35. | :07:36. | |
Lee`on`the`Solent in Hampshire was made an enterprise zone. That aims | :07:37. | :07:39. | |
to create 650 jobs in the same period, rising eventually to 3,700. | :07:40. | :07:43. | |
But will those jobs ` even more in demand with the loss of shipbuilding | :07:44. | :07:46. | |
in Portsmouth ` actually materialise? | :07:47. | :07:51. | |
There are big expectations for this 82 hectare site. As one of the | :07:52. | :07:54. | |
Government's enterprise zones, it is expected to create hundreds of | :07:55. | :07:57. | |
much`needed jobs. This company has been here for years, long before | :07:58. | :08:00. | |
Daedalus was given its special status. | :08:01. | :08:06. | |
To date it has been slow. I think that next year we will see a | :08:07. | :08:09. | |
definite change. So, some positivity but you're not | :08:10. | :08:12. | |
seeing new companies moving on`site yet? | :08:13. | :08:14. | |
As yet, we're not, but I feel that next year will see a definite | :08:15. | :08:19. | |
change. Enterprise zone status brings lower | :08:20. | :08:22. | |
taxes and grants for businesses to invest and expand. David Cameron has | :08:23. | :08:25. | |
called them trailblazers for growth, jobs and prosperity. But a report | :08:26. | :08:30. | |
out today says that sites like this one have a way to go to achieve that | :08:31. | :08:39. | |
ambition. As well as enterprise zones, local enterprise partnerships | :08:40. | :08:41. | |
and initiatives, like city deals, are all under scrutiny. | :08:42. | :08:46. | |
We've said in a report that the Government needs to plan better how | :08:47. | :08:49. | |
it's going to measure outcomes and evaluate performance. The current | :08:50. | :08:52. | |
structures are not yet able to demonstrate that they are capable of | :08:53. | :08:54. | |
delivering value for money. Enterprise zones were hugely | :08:55. | :09:02. | |
successful under the last Conservative Government. They | :09:03. | :09:04. | |
generated jobs and brought businesses in. But we're right at | :09:05. | :09:08. | |
the early stage at the moment and there's a lot of work to be done to | :09:09. | :09:12. | |
make sure that structures like roadworks and broadband are in | :09:13. | :09:13. | |
place. Few new businesses have moved onto | :09:14. | :09:22. | |
the site of this former naval base but eight firms are currently in | :09:23. | :09:25. | |
negotiations and it is hoped that more will follow. | :09:26. | :09:28. | |
650 jobs will be here on site by 2015. The companies that we are | :09:29. | :09:33. | |
already speaking to will deliver 400 of those jobs. The innovation centre | :09:34. | :09:37. | |
that will start here in partnership with Fareham Borough Council has the | :09:38. | :09:41. | |
potential to deliver further 150, so we're very much on track. | :09:42. | :09:47. | |
Marine Concepts has grown from a workforce of 12 to 55 since the | :09:48. | :09:55. | |
recession. It is a small success story that will need to be repeated | :09:56. | :09:59. | |
several times over if this site is to stand up to Government | :10:00. | :10:02. | |
expectations and make up for the hundreds of jobs lost at | :10:03. | :10:14. | |
Portsmouth's dockyard. "You did your job magnificently". | :10:15. | :10:17. | |
The words of Prince William, who was in Hampshire today to present medals | :10:18. | :10:20. | |
to soldiers who've served in Afghanistan. The Duke of Cambridge | :10:21. | :10:24. | |
is the Colonel of The Irish Gurads, who are based at Mons Barracks in | :10:25. | :10:27. | |
Aldershot. Friends and family of number two | :10:28. | :10:30. | |
company, first Battalion of The Irish Gurads gathered here to watch | :10:31. | :10:32. | |
loved ones receive operational service medals from the Duke of | :10:33. | :10:36. | |
Cambridge, as his standard flew at half`mast in tribute to Nelson | :10:37. | :10:38. | |
Mandela. Hundred and 20 soldiers returned from a six`month tour of | :10:39. | :10:42. | |
duty in Helmand province in October. No one was killed in their unit but | :10:43. | :10:45. | |
they did suffer some casualties. Many guardsmen were involved in | :10:46. | :10:48. | |
training the new Afghan security forces. | :10:49. | :10:50. | |
Most of the guys were very subtly steering the Afghan security forces | :10:51. | :10:53. | |
through their first fighting season in Helmand and the Afghans did a | :10:54. | :10:56. | |
terrific job. Yes, they took casualties, but it is their country | :10:57. | :10:59. | |
and it's quite right that they should be fighting. | :11:00. | :11:09. | |
Operation Herrick also involved disrupting insurgents and the | :11:10. | :11:12. | |
guardsmen carried out operations defined weapons and bomb` making | :11:13. | :11:15. | |
equipment. But they were glad to be home. | :11:16. | :11:20. | |
It's really good to be back with my family and my girlfriend. | :11:21. | :11:24. | |
A little trip to Paris as a 'welcome back'. It's very nice to have him | :11:25. | :11:26. | |
home. We'll try to keep them here as long | :11:27. | :11:33. | |
as we can. I got to meet my family after the | :11:34. | :11:37. | |
parade, which I am really made up with. | :11:38. | :11:43. | |
The Duke left a lasting impression. Many of the guards here are now | :11:44. | :11:59. | |
looking forward to Christmas leave. A woman had to be rescued from her | :12:00. | :12:03. | |
overturned car after she appeared to attempt to drive across Poole's | :12:04. | :12:06. | |
Twins Sails bridge while it was lifting. Firefighters removed her | :12:07. | :12:08. | |
from her Renault Clio which overturned on the bridge. It's | :12:09. | :12:11. | |
believed operators stopped the lifting process after she drove | :12:12. | :12:14. | |
through a barrier. She's not thought to be seriously hurt. | :12:15. | :12:17. | |
Still to come on South Today: a taste of Yassa, the Gambian dish | :12:18. | :12:20. | |
that this woman is hoping will hit supermarket shelves. | :12:21. | :12:26. | |
An oil company has made an application to put an exploratory | :12:27. | :12:30. | |
well in the South Downs National Park. Celtique Energie say it | :12:31. | :12:33. | |
doesn't want to use the controversial fracking technique at | :12:34. | :12:36. | |
this stage but it won't rule it out as a future possibility. Residents | :12:37. | :12:39. | |
in Fernhurst near Haslemere were already aware of the proposal and | :12:40. | :12:42. | |
say they'll now step up their opposition. | :12:43. | :12:44. | |
Martin Knight's home in Fernhurst looks out over the proposed test | :12:45. | :12:48. | |
drill site. The campaign to try and stop it happening today was being | :12:49. | :12:51. | |
planned by him and his neighbours. Boosted by an earlier visit from | :12:52. | :12:54. | |
their local MP, a one`time supporter of fracking who now says it should | :12:55. | :12:58. | |
not happen here. He was too busy to explain his change of heart, but | :12:59. | :13:01. | |
campaigners say this site is different. | :13:02. | :13:05. | |
If this site is successful then there would then need to be further | :13:06. | :13:08. | |
sites across Sussex to make it commercially viable, so that's the | :13:09. | :13:10. | |
end of the Sussex Weald. Martin Knight's home in Fernhurst | :13:11. | :13:20. | |
looks out over the proposed test drill site. Fernhurst will be the | :13:21. | :13:40. | |
only one of the company's sites within the National Park. It is | :13:41. | :13:43. | |
already a planning application lodged with West Sussex County | :13:44. | :13:46. | |
Council for an exploratory well at Wisborough Green. Next year, killing | :13:47. | :13:49. | |
will begin at Broadford Bridge, the only site where the company has | :13:50. | :13:52. | |
pledged not to use fracking. Celtique Energie, the firm behind | :13:53. | :13:55. | |
the plans say they recognise the importance of the National Park. It | :13:56. | :14:01. | |
is what might follow that worries the people in Fernhurst. The gas is | :14:02. | :14:09. | |
in the deep shale. The only way to get at it is through fracking. This | :14:10. | :14:17. | |
is a way of getting their foot in the door. | :14:18. | :14:38. | |
Basingstoke School has come up with a pioneering way to help pupils who | :14:39. | :14:43. | |
do not have English as their first language. | :14:44. | :15:00. | |
Having a mother tongue that's not English need not be a barrier to | :15:01. | :15:06. | |
learning. Fairfields Primary School has developed an interpreter buddy | :15:07. | :15:09. | |
scheme so children can get on better in the classroom and the playground. | :15:10. | :15:18. | |
The translator and their buddy don't necessarily speak the same language, | :15:19. | :15:21. | |
but it's all about using communication skills and personal | :15:22. | :15:22. | |
experience to help the each other. They're not all bilingual, it's | :15:23. | :15:32. | |
about communication skills, the kids are empathetic, patient. Some of | :15:33. | :15:49. | |
them are also bilingual. In this school alone, 27 languages | :15:50. | :15:54. | |
are spoken. The scheme's been so successful it's being rolled out | :15:55. | :15:57. | |
across Hampshire and now 200 pupils are involved, in 30 different | :15:58. | :16:03. | |
schools in the county. Fairfields has seen more and more pupils | :16:04. | :16:05. | |
volunteering to become young interpreters. | :16:06. | :16:09. | |
I read to them or they read to me and I help them with spellings. | :16:10. | :16:18. | |
I thought it would be nice to help them. | :16:19. | :16:26. | |
The idea has now taken off in other parts of the country too, and | :16:27. | :16:27. | |
abroad. Former Crawley Town manager Richie | :16:28. | :17:03. | |
Barker has emerged as the leading contender to be named as | :17:04. | :17:08. | |
Portsmouth's manager. Barker, seen here in the centre alongside Steve | :17:09. | :17:11. | |
Coppell, was among a group of candidates interviewed this week. | :17:12. | :17:14. | |
Others included Oxford boss Chris Wilder, Exeter's Paul Tisdale and | :17:15. | :17:16. | |
former Pompey manager Steve Claridge. Barker left Crawley last | :17:17. | :17:20. | |
week. An official announcement is expected on Monday. | :17:21. | :17:37. | |
It's FA Cup second round weekend and Oxford stayed alive in the | :17:38. | :17:40. | |
competition with a late extra time winner in their delayed replay at | :17:41. | :17:43. | |
Gateshead last night There were just four minutes remaining at the | :17:44. | :17:45. | |
International stadium when Oxford won a penalty. | :17:46. | :17:55. | |
They are going to be strong. I have no doubts about that. They have come | :17:56. | :18:03. | |
down from the Premier League with a good squad. We expect another tough | :18:04. | :18:17. | |
game. We have not been outplayed. We have lost three games this season | :18:18. | :18:23. | |
so far away from home. I want us to play exciting football. It is a | :18:24. | :18:37. | |
balance that you have to get right. It's FA Cup second round weekend and | :18:38. | :18:40. | |
Oxford stayed alive in the competition with a late extra time | :18:41. | :18:44. | |
winner in their delayed replay at Gateshead last night There were just | :18:45. | :18:47. | |
four minutes remaining at the International stadium when Oxford | :18:48. | :18:49. | |
won a penalty. Deane Smalley scored from the spot, to prevent the | :18:50. | :18:53. | |
dreaded shoot out and put Oxford into a second round tie on Monday at | :18:54. | :18:55. | |
Wrexham. Meanwhile Non`league Salisbury City | :18:56. | :18:58. | |
travel to Port Vale tonight hoping to cause an upset against the league | :18:59. | :19:00. | |
one club. And among other ties, Brackley Town | :19:01. | :19:04. | |
hope to keep their FA Cup journey alive on the road at Macclesfield. | :19:05. | :19:10. | |
Southampton will hope to avoid a fourth consecutive defeat in the | :19:11. | :19:13. | |
Premier League tomorrow they host Manchester City at St Mary's. | :19:14. | :19:15. | |
Wednesday's defeat moved Saints down to eighth in the table, courtesy of | :19:16. | :19:19. | |
their excellent autumn run. But injuries are continuing to bite. | :19:20. | :19:21. | |
Victor Wanyama and Nathanial Clyne join Artur Boruc on the treatment | :19:22. | :19:24. | |
table. Mauricio Pochettino has urged his players to keep believing in | :19:25. | :19:29. | |
themselves. Reading's Alex Danson won her 200th | :19:30. | :19:33. | |
cap as England's women beat China in the quarter finals of the World | :19:34. | :19:36. | |
League Hockey finals. A Georgie Twigg penalty gave England a 1`0 win | :19:37. | :19:39. | |
to set up a semifinal against Australia tomorrow evening. Despite | :19:40. | :19:42. | |
the narrow score line, England, who are captained by Reading's Kate | :19:43. | :19:44. | |
Richardson`Walsh dominated play and missed several chances. Hosts | :19:45. | :19:47. | |
Argentina will play Netherlands in Saturday's other semifinal. | :19:48. | :19:53. | |
Fareham athlete Andy Vernon is targeting a medal for Great Britain, | :19:54. | :19:56. | |
at this weekend's European Cross Country Championships in Serbia. The | :19:57. | :19:59. | |
27`year`old was a convincing winner of the British trial race, and will | :20:00. | :20:03. | |
be looking to at least improve on his 13th place finish at last year's | :20:04. | :20:06. | |
European event. The Isle of Wight's Jess Andrews and Aldershot's Emilia | :20:07. | :20:10. | |
Gorecka in the junior class are also competing this weekend in the | :20:11. | :20:11. | |
women's events. Sitting down to supper, the world is | :20:12. | :20:28. | |
at your table. Italian, Spanish tapas, Indian curry... Friday is | :20:29. | :20:49. | |
pizza night in our house. What about Gambian? The most common dish is | :20:50. | :20:59. | |
Yassa. You may not know it now, but I've been to meet a Gambian woman | :21:00. | :21:03. | |
who lives in Southampton who believes that could be about to | :21:04. | :21:07. | |
change. It makes me feel really amazing | :21:08. | :21:11. | |
because it has been a really long journey. A friend asked me for a | :21:12. | :21:26. | |
recipe and I thought maybe there is a gap in the market. From biochemist | :21:27. | :21:35. | |
to food producer, this woman has made her way through the challenges | :21:36. | :21:38. | |
of the food industry to make her way onto the shelves of this farm shop. | :21:39. | :21:45. | |
She showed me the secrets of making the Gambian dish, Yassa will stop. I | :21:46. | :21:54. | |
have some scotch bonnet chilies here. You only need very little. | :21:55. | :22:08. | |
Growing up, we used to marinate fish and we were really lucky because my | :22:09. | :22:12. | |
grandma had a big yard and fruit trees will stop. | :22:13. | :22:24. | |
Yassa be an everyday meal? It is like lasagne or holidays in | :22:25. | :22:36. | |
Italy. `` Balinese in Italy. The Yassa is barbecued meat or fish. | :22:37. | :22:44. | |
We need to marinate onions. It is a national dish. We eat Yassa to | :22:45. | :23:00. | |
celebrate any event. Usually when I cook I just throw everything in, so | :23:01. | :23:09. | |
coming up with a marinade means trying to experiment and get all the | :23:10. | :23:12. | |
measurements right. My poor husband had to eat Yassa all year. | :23:13. | :23:20. | |
I had to be to four about my weight, as you can imagine I ate a lot of | :23:21. | :23:32. | |
this stuff! What she has done to develop this project and product is | :23:33. | :23:48. | |
amazing. The lady is the boss! It is a family affair at today's | :23:49. | :23:53. | |
tasting, as she reaches out to more people to expand her business. But | :23:54. | :24:04. | |
then something unexpected happened. I am from Waitrose. Very nice to see | :24:05. | :24:11. | |
you. Would you like an appointment with us? I would love it! We thought | :24:12. | :24:22. | |
this Yassa was fantastic. I had a taste. I will make sure that we get | :24:23. | :24:31. | |
you an appointment. That would be fabulous. Thank you very much. | :24:32. | :24:52. | |
That is amazing. She has now heard from the Waitrose buyers and has a | :24:53. | :25:05. | |
meeting. Good luck to her. Andrew Sykes took this photo of the | :25:06. | :25:18. | |

sunshine today and tonight we had some increasing cloud. Temperatures | :25:32. | :25:42. | |
tonight will not be as chilly as last night. Down to three Celsius in | :25:43. | :25:49. | |
the countryside. There is still a flood warning in force for | :25:50. | :25:58. | |
Shoreham. Tomorrow morning one or two showers are possible. A slightly | :25:59. | :26:04. | |
drier day. A few showers drifting into the West. Temperatures up to 10 | :26:05. | :26:22. | |
Celsius. A milder feel to things. One or two mist and fog patches. | :26:23. | :26:33. | |
Sunday will stay settled, possibly more sunshine than Saturday. It will | :26:34. | :26:44. | |
be a breezy day. But it will be mild and will stay dry. Next week will be | :26:45. | :26:51. | |
mostly settled. Winds will remain light. We will start to see sunshine | :26:52. | :27:10. | |
from Wednesday onwards. A breezy weekend to come. Temperatures up to | :27:11. | :27:22. | |
nine Celsius. That is average for this time of year. | :27:23. | :27:31. | |
It is too early to asked you about you and what! We have a festive feel | :27:32. | :27:40. | |
to next week. That's all from us. Goodbye. | :27:41. | :27:47. |
