With 30 years of reflection and introspection, Deshun has found some "never-seen-or- heard-before" nuggets from her 1996 Everest experience. In this new presentation, "It's About This Flag". She unpacks the driving force behind the South African team's decision to go up the mountain one last time after the biggest disaster hit Mt Everest in 1996.

4. From Sport for Liberation to Sport for Good.

5. What it means for South Africa today.

   South Africans are facing a multiplicity of storms, disruptions and trauma. After 30+ years of democracy, we need to draw inspiration from our flag – what it means to us, what it stands for and what we're willing to do for it."
