Some hint at a conspiracy by the medical establishment and the pharmaceutical industry to keep the knowledge of the many fantastic healing properties of cheaply available urine a secret. There is no money to be made from urine, well, unless one was to write a book about its many virtues. But, seriously, what do we really know?

Madiba picked one of the more far-fetched causes imaginable: the Springboks, the national rugby team, who would host the sport´s World Cup in 1995.
