Chris Hani’s Daughter On Trauma, Addiction and Finding Hope | Lindiwe Hani & Craig Wilkinson

Loading player...
In this moving episode of Force For Good, Craig sits down with Lindiwe Hani for an honest honest and powerful conversation.

Lindiwe is the daughter of Chris Hani, one of South Africa’s most iconic liberation leaders. But behind the public history is a very personal story of childhood grief, trauma, addiction, loss, recovery and extraordinary courage.

She shares what her father was really like as a dad, what happened to her family after his assassination, how grief and pain shaped her life, and how addiction became a way of trying to survive what she had never been helped to process.

But this is not only a story about pain. It is a story about choosing life. It is about breaking cycles of trauma, doing the hard work of healing, taking back your power, and refusing to pass your wounds on to the next generation.

Lindiwe’s honesty, strength and vulnerability are deeply inspiring. This conversation is raw, human, hopeful and profoundly important.

May it remind you that no matter what you have been through, healing is possible.
