A former leading anti-apartheid campaigner, Lord Peter Hain in 2017/18 used his parliamentary privilege to expose global corporate complicity during the Zuma/Gupta decade of corruption.

In 2022 he persuaded the UK government to suspend Bain & Co from public contracts for three years after they were found to have acted unlawfully for former President Zuma in disabling the SA Revenue Service. He also persuaded the UK government to impose sanctions on the Gupta brothers.

In 2019, Lord Hain gave testimony before Deputy Chief Justice Raymond Zondo – and the world’s media – at The State Capture Inquiry in Johannesburg.

London-based, The Right Honourable Lord Peter Hain of Neath, better known as Peter Hain, was born in 1950 and brought up in South Africa. In politics for over 50 years, he was recently involved in exposing the money laundering by the Zuptas (former President Zuma/the Guptas).

A captivating speaker on a range of global issues with a treasure trove of anecdotes from his extraordinary life, his most requested talk topics include:

Making sense of Trump, Brexit, and global political instability
The Future of South Africa
Leadership
Negotiation, problem-solving and conflict-resolution, drawing on his role in Northern Ireland
